Coyote [1] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Coyote was an automobile brand produced by the Pacific Motor & Automobile Company, which operated in Redondo, California, during the years 1908 to 1909. The brand is primarily known for its singular model, the Coyote Special, which was designed as a two-seater roadster characterized by its elongated bonnet. This design was necessitated by the inclusion of a straight-eight engine.

The Coyote Special featured a crankshaft and crankcase manufactured by Pacific Motor & Automobile, while many other components, including engine parts, springs, and wheels, were sourced from Franklin, a contemporary automobile manufacturer. The vehicle was reported to have a top speed of approximately 75 mph (120 km/h), although this figure may have been exaggerated.

Only two units of the Coyote Special were produced, making it a rare example of early 20th-century American automotive engineering. The brief existence of the brand and its limited production run contributed to its obscurity in the history of automobile manufacturing.
