The Saginaw cyclecar was built by the Valley Boat & Engine Company of Saginaw, Michigan in 1914.




History


The Saginaw cyclecar, originally to be called the Faultless, was a two-seater with a friction transmission and belt drive. The engine was a V-twin-cylinder manufactured by Valley Boat & Engine Company. Its distinguishing feature was that the headlamps were inset into the front mud guards similar to a Pierce-Arrow. The flowing fenders were built into the body. The price was $395 (equivalent to $12,015 in 2023) which included top, curtains, Stewart-Warner speedometer, tools, tire repair kit and electric horn.
Valley Boat & Engine Company discontinued the Saginaw late in 1914 after an estimated 35 had been built.
