Duryea [2] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Duryea was an American automobile brand that operated briefly between 1914 and 1915. The company was associated with Charles Duryea, a notable figure in the early automotive industry, who designed the vehicles produced under this brand. The cars were manufactured by the Cresson-Morris Company, located in Philadelphia.

The Duryea model was classified as a cyclecar, which was a lightweight and economical type of vehicle popular during that era. It featured a flat-twin engine and utilized a drive system similar to that of the Buggyaut. The pricing for the Duryea was set at $400, but production numbers were limited, resulting in few units being made.

In addition to the Duryea, the Cresson-Morris Company was also engaged in the production of a four-cylinder light car for another entrepreneur, Henry Crowther. This vehicle was marketed under the Crowther name from Rochester, New York. In 1916, Charles Duryea and Henry Crowther collaborated to form the Crowther-Duryea, marking a new chapter in their automotive endeavors.
