Hackett

The Hackett was an American automobile manufactured briefly in the late 1910s by the Hackett Motor Car Company, which operated out of Jackson and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The firm emerged as the successor to the earlier Argo automobile, which had been produced from 1914 to 1917.

Hackett vehicles were assembled cars built using components sourced from outside suppliers, including a four-cylinder engine supplied by G. B. & S. The company offered both roadster and touring versions, each priced at 885 dollars, positioning the marque as an affordable option within its market segment.

Production was disrupted by the onset of the First World War, and the company struggled to resume operations at any significant scale following the Armistice. It is estimated that no more than 125 Hackett automobiles were ultimately completed before the company ceased operations around 1919.

After Hackett's closure, its factory was taken over for the production of the Lorraine automobile, a marque that existed for approximately three years and counted David D. Buick among its leadership as company president.
