Calvert [2] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Calvert Motor Associates was an American automobile manufacturer based in Baltimore, Maryland, which was established in 1927. The company aimed to produce a small six-cylinder car targeted at the low-priced market, competing with other economy vehicles such as Chevrolet, Star, and the recently introduced Whippet.

Despite its ambitions, Calvert Motor Associates did not succeed in bringing its vehicles to mass production. The company managed to complete a few prototypes, including a roadster and touring cars, but these models never reached the market. The proposed pricing for the vehicles was set at $795 and $825, with the model designated as Duplex.

The planned Calvert cars were to be equipped with a six-cylinder Continental L-head engine, featuring a bore and stroke of 2.5 x 5 inches. Both prototype types were designed to weigh approximately 1,660 pounds (755 kg) and had a wheelbase of 105 inches (2,665 mm), along with disc wheels. Ultimately, the Calvert Motor Associates ceased operations without achieving commercial success.
