Elbert (United States) - AllCarIndex

Elbert Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1914 to 1915. The company was initially based in Seattle, Washington, before relocating to Sunnyvale, California, in March 1915. However, the move did not lead to any significant production, as the new facilities were limited to a blacksmith's shop.

The Elbert was a tandem-seated cyclecar, notable for its compact design and powered by an 18-horsepower four-cylinder engine. It featured a unique shaft drive system connected to what was referred to as a "gearless differential." The vehicle was available in two configurations: a standard passenger version priced at $295 and a delivery van variant at $305.

Despite its innovative design and modest pricing, the Elbert Motor Car Company ceased operations shortly after its establishment, leaving behind a brief legacy in the early automotive industry.
