Name/Title

Dr Pryor Buggy

Description

Buggy belonging to Dr. Robert Bruce Pryor, MD, Family Practitioner, Barry County, MI 1947-1997. The buggy is all black, and has been restored at some point. A doctor's buggy was designed to transport doctors quickly, only needing one horse. The short wheelbase meant the buggy could be pulled over multiple surfaces easily, and was easy to make turns. HCP recieved this item as a transfer from the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI. Given the history of Dr. Pryor, it was mutually agreed that HCP was a better home for it.
