The 10-model lineup, ranging in price from $495 to $785, included four-door phaeton, convertible coupe and sedan, two-seater Business Roadtser, and Sport Roadster (shown below). Production of the Model PB ended after just eight months.

Wire wheels, chrome grille and headlamps, and twin cowl ventilators were all standard equipment for this model, but the bumpers were $15 extra.
