Detroit Cyclecar

The Detroit Cyclecar was a cyclecar manufactured in Detroit, Michigan by the Detroit Cyclecar Company from 1913 to 1914 and Saginaw, Michigan in 1914.

History

The cyclecar, also marketed as the Detroit Speedster and Little Detroit Speedster, was designed by Ernest Weigold, former engineer for the E.R. Thomas Motor Company, and chief engineer for Herreshoff.
Heavier than most cyclecars at, it was offered with a four-cylinder water-cooled engine of, costing $375. The car was a side by side two-seat roadster on a 92-inch wheelbase.
In 1914 the company relocated to Saginaw, Michigan, where A. R. Thomas promoted a new cyclecar company. The car was built at the Brooks Manufacturing Company factory and known as the Saginaw Speedster for a short time.
