McFarlan Roadster

[PerfAdv]

The McFarlan Motor Corporation produced expensive, hand built cars in Connersville, Indiana. About 3,600 McFarlan cars were built from 1910 to 1928. In 1928, the company was forced to shut its doors, as it was increasingly difficult to compete against less expensive mass produced automobiles. The production facility was sold to Errett L. Cord, who would later employ it in the manufacture of the Duesenberg J.

McFarlan's most coveted model were powered by the company's star engine, the Twin Valve Six. To power less expensive cars a series of straight eight cylinder engines was developed, the Line 8s. The car pictured below is a 1927 Line 8 Boat-Tail Roadster, denoting its use of this engine.

This pristine example can be seen at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

It is a beauty. Do you have any more info on these very rare American cars?

I couldn't find a lot of information on McFarlan cars. My understanding was that when the company was sold in 1928, production ceased. If anyone has more information please contribute.
