Deering Magnetic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deering Magnetic was an American automobile brand.

Brand history

The brand was introduced at the Chicago Automobile Salon in January 1918 . The two parts of the name stood on the one hand for the engineer Raymond S. Deering, on the other hand for the Magnetic Motors Corporation from Chicago as a donor. The seat was in Chicago , Illinois , while production took place at the Dorris Motor Car Company in St. Louis . Karl H. Martin was the vehicle designer. Production either came to a standstill at the end of 1918 or not until 1919. The reason given is a shortage of materials. Marketing continued until 1919.
