Kline Kar


    Kline Kar - York, Pennsylvania 1910-1913 - Richmond, Virginia - 1913-1923

James (Jimmy) Kline built a rather massive car called the Kline Kar in the early part of the century, who supplied most of their own bodies. Typical of a small producer, Kline marketed its car as being of higher quality than mass-produced vehicles. Kline Kars were notable for using steel parts rather than iron to reduce weight and for having electric starters. At a price that could run as high as $3,500, the Kline Kar was clearly for the most discriminating shopper. Kline Kars ran in important American races, 1911-1931. I am not sure whether they made bodies for anyone else.
