Circleville (United States) - AllCarIndex

The Circleville Automobile Company was established in 1914 in Circleville, Ohio. The company aimed to produce a cyclecar, a lightweight and economical vehicle designed for affordability and efficiency. The cyclecar was powered by an engine that was patented by Walker Lee Crouch, which contributed to its unique design.

One of the distinguishing features of the Circleville cyclecar was its inclusion of electric lighting and starting, which was not common in cyclecars of that era. This feature added to the vehicle's appeal, offering convenience and modernity for its time. The price of the cyclecar was set at $425, which was considered reasonable for the features it provided.

Despite its innovative design and features, the production of the Circleville cyclecar was limited, and few units were manufactured. The company did not achieve significant market presence, and it eventually ceased operations, leaving behind a brief but notable chapter in the history of American automotive manufacturing.
