Debonnaire (United States) - AllCarIndex

Debonnaire was an American automotive brand that emerged around 1955, operating under Rcplac Corporation based in Euclid, Ohio. The brand specialized in producing kit cars, which allowed enthusiasts to build their own vehicles using existing automotive components.

The Debonnaire model featured a distinctive angular design and was based on the running gear of Ford vehicles manufactured between 1941 and 1951. The kit included a fiberglass body, trim, and an optional hardtop, catering to a niche market of car builders. While the kit could be purchased for assembly, a fully assembled Debonnaire was priced at $1,800.

In addition to the Debonnaire, Rcplac Corporation also offered a roadster kit known as the Venture. This model was similarly styled by Phil Fagan and was available for $650, also designed to fit the Ford chassis from the same era. The Debonnaire brand represented a unique segment of the automotive industry during its brief existence, appealing to those interested in custom car construction.
