Falcon-Knight (United States) - AllCarIndex

Falcon Motor Corporation was an American automobile manufacturer based in Detroit, Michigan, with operations in Elyria, Ohio. The company produced vehicles under the Falcon-Knight brand from 1927 to 1928. The Falcon-Knight was introduced as a companion model to the smaller Whippet and the Willys-Knight 70, both of which were part of the Willys-Overland company’s lineup.

The Falcon-Knight featured a wheelbase of 109 inches (approximately 2,779 mm) and was equipped with a Knight 6-cylinder sleeve-valve engine, which was notable for its unique design that aimed to reduce engine noise and improve efficiency. The model range included a complete selection of closed and open body styles, all of which were fitted with artillery wheels, except for the Gray Ghost roadster, which was distinguished by its wire wheels.

Despite its brief production run, the Falcon-Knight represented an effort to expand the Willys-Overland brand's offerings during the late 1920s, catering to consumers seeking a mid-range automobile option.
