K-R-I-T Motor Car Company

K-R-I-T (or simply "Krit") was a small automobile manufacturing company (1909–1916) based in Detroit, Michigan.

The emblem of the cars was a swastika (a symbol that was not yet associated with Nazism, Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, or antisemitism).

[2] Krit occupied two different sites during its history: the first one it took over from the Blomstrom car, and in 1911 moved to the works that had been used by R. M. Owen & Company who had moved to become Owen Magnetic.

[3] The cars were conventional 4-cylinder models and many were exported to Europe and Australia.

The outbreak of World War I seriously damaged the company and it failed in 1915.
