Great Eagle (United States)

Great Eagle was an automobile brand produced by the United States Carriage Company, based in Columbus, Ohio, from 1910 to 1915. The brand was known for manufacturing large vehicles, which were characterized by their powerful engines and substantial wheelbases.

In its early years, Great Eagle offered models equipped with 40-horsepower four-cylinder engines and a wheelbase of 126 inches (3198 mm). By 1913, the company expanded its offerings to include a 50-horsepower four-cylinder engine on a 135-inch (3426 mm) wheelbase, as well as a 60-horsepower six-cylinder engine on a 142-inch (3604 mm) wheelbase. The most notable model from this period was the 1913 60-horsepower ten-seater limousine, which featured a wheelbase of 147 inches (3731 mm) and was comparable in size to a small bus.

Initially, Great Eagle's body styles were limited to a limousine and a landaulette. However, this changed in 1913 when the company introduced a seven-seater tourer. A two-seater roadster was also listed for the 1914 and 1915 model years. Despite these developments, the United States Carriage Company faced financial difficulties and entered receivership by February 1915. Although there were rumors in 1918 regarding a potential revival of production, including a return of the 1915 models, these plans ultimately did not materialize, marking the end of the Great Eagle brand.
