Sidney New York Hotel DeCumber With Hatfield Suburban Cortland Cart Carriage Real Photo Postcard

The Hatfield Suburban was an early automobile model produced by the Cortland Cart and Carriage Company of Sidney, New York. Active in the early 20th century, this firm was one of many carriage and wagon manufacturers that transitioned into automobile production, reflecting the rapid technological shift from horse-drawn vehicles to motorized transport. The Suburban body style, an early form of an enclosed passenger vehicle, was designed to offer more protection and comfort than open touring cars, indicative of evolving consumer demands for practical family transportation around the 1910s.
