History

The Saginaw cyclecar, originally to be called the Faultless, was a two-seater with a friction transmission and belt drive. The engine was a V-twin-cylinder manufactured by Valley Boat & Engine Company. Its distinguishing feature was that the headlamps were inset into the front mud guards similar to a Pierce-Arrow. The flowing fenders were built into the body. The price was $395 (equivalent to $12,400 in 2024) which included top, curtains, Stewart-Warner speedometer, tools, tire repair kit and electric horn.^[1]

Valley Boat & Engine Company discontinued the Saginaw late in 1914 after an estimated 35 had been built.^[1]
