Cloyd (United States) - AllCarIndex

Cloyd Auto Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 1911 by Percival C. Cloyd. Initially a car repairer, Cloyd transitioned into automobile production, aiming to create vehicles that met the needs of early 20th-century consumers.

The company's vehicles featured a conventional design, equipped with a 40-horsepower four-cylinder engine, a three-speed gearbox, and a shaft drive system. Cloyd Auto Co. offered several body styles, including a runabout and a roadster built on a 110-inch (2,791 mm) wheelbase, as well as a tourer on a longer 123-inch (3,121 mm) wheelbase.

Despite its innovative approach, Cloyd Auto Co. produced very few vehicles during its operation, which limited its impact on the automotive market. The company eventually ceased production, and its legacy remains largely obscure in the history of American automotive manufacturing.
