Gerard (United States) - AllCarIndex

Gerard Coach was a kit car manufacturer based in Kirkland, Washington, that operated from approximately 1977 to 1985. The company initially began as OMNAAUTO, focusing on a range of Volkswagen-based kit cars. However, it later rebranded to Gerard Coach, under which it gained recognition for producing replicas of the Jaguar XK-SS.

The company's offerings included a variant of the Witton Tiger known as the Tiger II, which was designed as an open roadster featuring low lines and running boards. This model utilized running gear from either the Ford Pinto or General Motors vehicles. Gerard Coach eventually advanced to producing the Lion, a fiberglass-bodied replica of the XK-SS, which was equipped with either General Motors V6 or V8 engines. Through its innovative designs, Gerard Coach contributed to the niche market of kit cars during its operational years.
