1912 FN Model 1600 Two Seater

The 1912 FN Model 1600 was a Belgian-made automobile that was produced by the Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (FN) company. It was a two-seater model that featured a 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters, which was capable of producing 16 horsepower. The car had a top speed of around 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers per hour) and was known for its smooth ride and comfortable handling.

The FN Model 1600 was popular among early automobile enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciated the car's innovative design features. For example, the car's engine was mounted transversely, which allowed for a shorter wheelbase and a more compact overall design. Additionally, the car featured a unique suspension system that used coil springs instead of the more traditional leaf springs.

Despite its popularity, the FN Model 1600 was only produced for a few years, with production ending in 1914 due to the outbreak of World War I. Today, the car is considered a rare and valuable antique, with several examples still in existence and occasionally appearing at classic car shows and auctions.
