Eagle [8] / Eagle-Macomber (United States) - AllCarIndex

Eagle-Macomber Motor Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Sandusky, Ohio, that operated from 1916 to 1918. The company was an extension of the earlier Eagle brand, which had been produced by Walter C. Macomber in various locations, including Los Angeles and Chicago, before settling in Sandusky.

The Eagle-Macomber vehicles were notable for their rotary, 5-cylinder air-cooled engines, featuring a bore and stroke of 3.5 inches by 5 inches. The cars had a wheelbase of 118 inches (2995 mm) and showcased a modern design characterized by a pointed bonnet with a herringbone pattern. Promotional materials for the Eagle-Macomber included sketches that bore a resemblance to the Bour-Davis car, although there was no actual connection between the two brands.

In July 1917, Walter Macomber organized a two-day open house event for stockholders at the Sandusky factory, which attracted around 200 attendees via a special train from Albany. Despite Macomber's extensive efforts to establish dealerships across the Eastern Seaboard and the Midwest, the company struggled to commence full-scale production. Ultimately, only a handful of prototypes of the touring car were produced, and by July 1918, the company ceased operations, having failed to transition from prototype to mass production.
