Car models of the brand were notable for their use of an electromagnetic transmission and were early examples of an electric series hybrid drivetrain.

Walter C. Baker, of Cleveland, Ohio, owned the patents on the Entz transmission, thus each of the 250 Owen Magnetic automobiles produced in New York was built under license.

The Woods Dual Power had a drive-train based on Roland Fend's U.S. patent 1,303,870, using a clutch between the gas engine and the electric motor.

Because of the combined resources, the Owen Magnetic increased its range of offerings for 1916 model year adding a Holbrook bodied sports tourer for $6,000, equivalent to $168,000 in 2023.

Production continued through 1918, with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 (equivalent to $140,000 in 2023), when Baker shifted its focus to war goods manufacturing.

[6][2] J. L. Crown who now owned the Entz rights, placed an order for 500 vehicles to be sold by Le Grice Elers, Ltd of London.

On the forward end of the car's drive shaft, was an electric motor with an armature fitted into an air space inside the whirling magnet.
