    Almost 40 years before Ford dabbled in unibody full-size pickup trucks, Rickenbacker of Detroit Michigan produced one in 1925. This example is in highly original and correct condition for such a rarity. What makes this truck unique, apart from its rarity, is that the cab and cargo bed are a single unit. Most pickup trucks use a body-on-frame layout with a separate tub for the cargo bed. The Rickenbacker was the first medium-priced American car with four-wheel brakes.
    The Rickenbacker Motor Company was incorporated in July of 1921 when Barney Everitt decided to start up another car company. He asked Eddie Rickenbacker for the use of his name on the automobiles and named Rickenbacker vice-president and director of sales for the company. Everitt also asked long-time friend and businessman Walter Flanders to help get this car company off the ground. Everitt and Flanders worked together before with William Metzger at the EMF car company from 1909-1912.
    A plant on Michigan Avenue in Detroit was purchased where 200 cars a day could be manufactured (Later, a newer plant was built at 4815 Cabot Avenue). The general public had yet to see the Rickenbacker prototype, but anything associated with Captain Eddie Rickenbacker was bound to be something extraordinary. The emblem for the car was taken from Rickenbacker's flying squadron insignia the “Hat in the Ring.”
    In January 1922, the first Rickenbacker touring cars, sedans and coupes made their debut at the New York Auto show. The engine was a three-main- bearing six cylinder, 218 cubic inches, 58 hp with a speed of 60 mph. The cars were vibrationless with two flywheels at either end of the crankshaft. This was an idea Rickenbacker had come up with while flying over Germany. He had been amazed at the German planes’ maneuverability and on inspection of several engines, found a flywheel at the end of the crankshaft. Also new on the Rickenbacker was an experimental chassis with four-wheel brakes. Few people paid much attention to this feature.
    By March 1922, the factory made 10 Rickenbackers a day. By May, the numbers had increased to 50. Rickenbacker announced on June 27, 1923, that all Rickenbackers built from now on would have four-wheel brakes. Packard had made the same statement 16 days earlier but only offered it on eight-cylinder models. The Rickenbacker was the first medium-priced American car with four-wheel brakes. Duesenberg had been the first to offer the option but Duesenbergs were far from medium-priced. Buick, Oakland, Cadillac, Marmon, Chalmers, Elgin, Paige and Locomobile were next to jump on four-wheel brake bandwagon. Few people seemed to remember that Rickenbacker had been making cars with four-wheel brakes since 1922, although few models came with the option in 1922.
    Finished in two-tone green over black with a rubberized roof and external sunvisor, this truck’s paint and trim are in very good order. The bodywork is straight and solid and the cargo bed with its wooden floor is in very good order. The chrome bumpers, which resemble those on Ford’s Model A, are in very good order.
    This truck rolls on bias-ply tires, size 6.00-22 at every corner. Each one is mounted on to an ivory flat disc wheel. The tires and wheels are all in good, original order.
    Under hood is a Reinbach six-cylinder engine mated to a three-speed manual transmission.
    Inside is brown cloth bench seat with floor mats below that are in good original order. The four-spoke steering wheel sports a wooden rim, and a black dashboard while the headliner and inner door liners are almost 100 years old! A floor-mounted shift lever completes the interior.
