Trumbull (cyclecar)

[1] The origins of the Trumbull Motor Company lie in a car designed in 1912 by Harry Stoops and intended to be produced by the Americal Cyclecar Company, but the design was acquired in 1913 by Alexander and Isaac Trumbull before any cars had been manufactured.

The Trumbull Motorcar Company was thus founded and in 1914 produced and sold a selection vehicles with a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h).

A total of approximately 2000 Trumbull cars were produced, of which three quarters were exported, mainly to Europe and Australia.

[3][1] The New York Police Department were also early users of Trumbulls, with upwards of 20 vehicles.

[2] With production ramped up to 300 cars per month, on 1 May 1915 company president Isaac Trumbull boarded the RMS Lusitania for a visit to Europe.
