| Priced at $1,795 the 1928 Lycoming Straight 8-powered Model 85 Sport Roadster was a relatively expensive car. Standard equipment unusual for the day included dual side mounts, trunk rack, rear view mirror, automatic windshield wipers and hydraulic brakes. The Gardner also included a unique centralized lubrication system that oiled the front and rear shackles based on the up and down motion of the car. With a 'double drop' frame, it has a low center of gravity making for excellent handling. Defying logic, Gardner offered 50 different color combinations, 25 different interiors, and the availability of any custom color upon request for 1928; an incredible feat considering it built 3,177 cars that year.
