Faulkner-Blanchard Motor Car Company was established in 1910 in Detroit, Michigan. The company aimed to produce a touring car known as the Gunboat Six, which was notable for its 33-horsepower six-cylinder engine.
The design of the Gunboat Six featured a rounded rear body, which contributed to a sportier aesthetic compared to typical touring cars of the era. However, by September 1910, the company was still in search of a factory, indicating that only a prototype or a limited number of vehicles may have been produced before the company ceased operations. The brief existence of Faulkner-Blanchard Motor Car Company reflects the challenges faced by early automotive manufacturers in securing production facilities and market presence.
