From the Smithsonian Collection:
They were water cooled.
Special had only three portholes in the fenders, fourth makes it a Century.

This car has a one-cylinder engine, with a 4/12-inch bore and a 6-inch stroke. The engine is placed horizontally with the cylinder head at the rear of the car and the flywheel below the seat. The car had a starting crank on the right side of the body, designed so that the driver could crank the engine while seated in the car. It has planetary transmission. The car's wheelbase is 66 inches and the tread 55 inches. It has metal step plates and fenders, a wooden body and a steel frame, and oil burning lamps ........

I live in Darwin Australia where I am a member of the Motor Vehicle Enthusiast Club, we are preparing to build & replica Model "R" odsmobile & would be greatfull for any help you could give with dimentions, we have not found any data on bodywork & even a few basic measurements would allow us to scale pictures ect. Our website is http://users.on.net/~mvec/ if you would like to have a look.
I hope an exchange of information will be mutually benificial.
