80 Years Ago: August 1925The first rear-engine car in nearly 20 years hits the American market. The unique design of the Julian 6, built by the julian Brown Development Corp. of Syracuse, New York, incorporates a 60-hp. six-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine mounted horizontally under the rear deck. The clutch, transmission and differential are located underneath the engine, with the rear wheels driven by axle shafts with universal joints. Four forward and two reverse speeds are provided by a sliding gear and planetary gearing, located within the flywheel. The frame consists of a 4 1/2-inch main tube with smaller diameter cross tubes at each end on which the body is mounted.
