Gray Light Car Corporation was established in 1920 in Denver, Colorado. The company aimed to revive the cyclecar segment of the automotive market, which had seen a significant decline by 1916. In 1924, Gray introduced its light car model, but it faced challenges from the outset.
The Gray light car was notable for its use of Harley-Davidson motorcycle engines, with prototypes featuring both a single-cylinder and a twin-cylinder engine. Despite the innovative approach, the projected prices for the vehicles ranged from $350 to $450, which may have limited their market appeal.
Although there were ambitious plans for a large manufacturing facility in Longmont, Colorado, these plans ultimately did not materialize. Only two prototypes of the Gray light car were produced, and the company did not achieve commercial success, leading to its eventual decline.
