Something Missing?

The Earl was an automobile manufactured in Jackson, Michigan by Earl Motors Incorporated from 1921-23. The Earl was a continuation of the Briscoe. The Model 40 offered both open and closed models with a four-cylinder engine. Approximately 2,000 vehicles were produced. When the Earl debuted in 1921, the tourer cost just $1285. The company also claimed that $100 worth of "extras", such as linoleum floor boards and carpets front and rear were included in the base price.

The bankers and supplier executives took over the company in 1922, with George Scobie as president. They promptly reorganized as the Earl Motor Manufacturing Company in early 1923. The new company was capitalized at one million dollars. Soon, this group failed in pursuing their favored lower-volume approach, taking the company down with them. Early in 1924, servicing rights to the now defunct Earl were sold to Standard Motor Parts Company of Detroit. Total Earl production was approximately 1,900 cars.
