Brand Data

Company Name: William B. Engler

Place: Detroit, Michigan

Country: United States

Engler was a short-lived automobile manufacturer based in Detroit, Michigan, active during the early 20th century, specifically from 1913 to 1914. The company was founded by William B. Engler, who initially built a cyclecar in Pontiac, Michigan. This vehicle was powered by a 10 horsepower De Luxe air-cooled V-twin engine and featured a friction transmission along with a belt drive system.

After establishing his initial production in Pontiac, Engler relocated to Detroit, where he produced a limited number of modified cyclecars. These modifications included a shorter wheelbase and a wider track, and the vehicles were offered for sale at a price of $385. Despite the production of these modified models, Engler did not formalize a company for their manufacture, which ultimately limited the brand's longevity and impact in the automotive industry.
