Everitt (United States)

The Everitt Motor Car Company was established in 1909 in Detroit, Michigan, by Barney Everitt and William Metzger. The founders had previously collaborated with Walter Flanders in the production of the E.M.F. automobile. The company's first model, the Everitt Four-30, closely resembled the E.M.F. 30, reflecting the shared design expertise of E.M.F. designer William Kelly, who joined the new venture.

In 1911, Everitt expanded its offerings by introducing a larger four-cylinder engine, producing 36 horsepower. The following year, the company launched the Six-48, a six-cylinder model built on a 127-inch wheelbase. This model featured a compressed-air self-starter and was priced between $1,850 and $1,900, significantly higher than the four-cylinder models, which ranged from $1,250 to $1,500. The body styles available included tourers and roadsters, although Everitt did not produce any closed models.

In late 1912, Walter Flanders rejoined Everitt and the company was reorganized as the Flanders Motor Company. The Everitt Six-48 was rebranded as the Flanders Six, which included electric lighting and starting features. However, this iteration lasted only a year before Flanders departed to establish the United States Motor Company. During its brief existence from 1910 to 1912, the Everitt 30 was also manufactured under license in Canada by the Tudhope Motor Company, initially as the Everitt or Everitt-Tudhope, and later simply as the Tudhope. Additionally, components from Tudhope were used by the Brockville, Ontario-based Carriage Factories to assemble approximately 80 cars under the name Brockville 30.
