JPL (cyclecar)

The JPL was a brass era cyclecar built in Detroit, Michigan by the J.P.L.

[1][2] The JPL was designed by J.P. La Vigne who was an early and ubiquitous engineer in the industry.

A bore and stroke of 2+3⁄4 and 4 in (69.9 and 101.6 mm) made for a displacement of 95.0 cu in (1,557 cc) and a claimed maximum power of 14 hp (10.4 kW).

A revised design, the Model F, was shown in mid-1914 with a promised introduction date of September 1914.

The engine, while of the same size, was now water-cooled and produced 20 hp (14.9 kW), while the wheelbase was increased from 96 to 100 in (2,440 to 2,540 mm).
