Flyer (United States) - AllCarIndex

The Flyer Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1913 to 1914. Founded in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the company relocated to Mount Clemens, Michigan, in 1914, attracted by incentives such as tax exemptions and free water for five years. However, the company did not survive long enough to benefit from these offers.

Flyer produced a compact two-seater automobile characterized by its relatively large features for its size. The vehicle was built on a 100-inch (2,538 mm) wheelbase and was powered by a 20-horsepower, four-cylinder water-cooled engine. It featured shaft drive and was equipped with full electric lighting and starting systems. The initial price of the Flyer was set at $495, which increased to $600 in 1914.

Despite its innovative design and reasonable pricing, the Flyer Motor Car Company ceased operations shortly after its move to Michigan, marking a brief chapter in the early history of American automotive manufacturing.
