el coche motor Brill 60 from the 1930s of the AFE, Uruguay

 



Some info--

These could accomodate 74 seated passengers and were equipped with a 6-cylinder Hall Scott gasoline engines capable of developing 168 HP. 

The Brill 60 could not only be attached to other cars without any restriction, but also had a two-panel radiator, installed under the body, supported at one end of the edges of the chassis, while the other end was inclined at 45 degrees, avoiding any lack of refrigeration.

The body of the Brill 60 was completely differentand presented a much lighter and more refined car. The oval-shaped cabin had a slight forward inclination as did the rear end of the car. The windshield of the cabin was divided into 3 sectors and the rear end into six sectors, forming a panoramic window that allowed observing the landscape. Its cabin was spacious and had a compartment for parcels and luggage, and the driving controls were located on the left. It was entered through two sliding doors located on both sides of the vehicle, which were also used to enter luggage into the loading area. Above the cab was a powerful 110-watt headlight that provided great forward illumination at night.

The entrance platform to the saloon was located in the center of the car, with access on both sides and closed by double-leaf folding doors on each side. The first class compartment was located in front of the access platform, having an independent toilet cabinet and lavatory. The seats in this compartment were very comfortable and upholstered in leather.

The second class compartment was located behind the access platform, and had a separate toilet cabinet as well.
