Wills Sainte Claire
Wills Sainte Claire was an American automobile brand manufactured by C. H. Wills and Company, in Marysville, Michigan, from 1921 to 1927.
Childe Harold Wills, the company founder, was a perfectionist and his automobile company focused on very high quality cars.
Wills' mother was a fan of Lord Byron's poetry and Wills never used his first name.
As a metallurgical engineer, Wills was an aide of Henry Ford.
Wills introduced vanadium steel for the production of the Ford Model T; it was the first the large scale application of the alloy.
Wills was also a designer and is credited with designing the script "Ford Blue Oval" emblem that the company uses to this day.
Wills left Ford on his own terms and with a severance package of more than 1.5 million dollars, which he used to establish his own car company he originally named "Wills Saint Clair" – Wills for himself and "Saint Clair" for the Saint Clair River near his new factory.
Wills later added the extra "e"'s, thinking that it elevated the cachet of the product.
The first Wills Sainte Claire rolled off the assembly line in 1921.
Production was delayed due to metallurgy issues surrounding the use of molybdenum in castings, which Wills insisted be used in the production of the car in order to ensure its durability.
Despite the durability of the cars, once production got underway most of Wills' executive staff abandoned him by 1922 because Wills was known to shut the whole assembly line down if a new and innovative method occurred to him.
After going into receivership that year, the company was refinanced by a group of bankers from Boston and reincorporated as Wills Sainte Claire Incorporated in 1923.
Automotive designer Amos Northup worked at Wills Sainte Claire until 1924.
Wills cars rode on either or wheelbases and featured either V8 or inline-6-cylinder overhead cam engines.
There was also a wide range of body styles - four-passenger roadster; five-passenger Gray Goose special touring car; seven-passenger touring car; 4-door brougham; four-passenger coupe; five-passenger sedan; five-passenger Imperial sedan and town car.
Unable to sustain volume sufficient to make a profit, Wills closed the factory in 1927.
Wills was later involved in the development of the front-wheel drive Ruxton automobile.
The factory was later acquired by Chrysler.
All Wills Sainte Claire automobiles are classified as "Classic Cars" by the Classic Car Club of America.
Outside of automotive circles, Wills Sainte Claire is best known for its Canada goose logo.
Wills chose it because he felt the Canada goose was the ultimate traveler of the world.

Fischer Motor Company
Fischer Motor Company is a US- based sport motorcycle manufacturer.
Their MRX 650 is a sport bike built around a 90- degree V-twin engine and a one- piece, twin spar, aluminum perimeter frame.
Alan Cathcart of" Motorcyclist" magazine in his 2006 test review, called the MRX," the most important new American motorcycle in generations."
Company founder Daniel Fischer developed the company's first motorcycle for mass- production, the MRX 650 using suppliers including an EADS( Airbus) subsidiary for engineering, Harley- Davidson and Michael Jordan Motorsports contractor Gemini Technology Systems for frame development, and various companies related to US- based heavy equipment and automotive suppliers for other components.
The original platform is based upon a 1990s era Grand Prix chassis.
In contrast to Buell Motorcycle Company, Fischer intended not to" reinvent the wheel" with any radical design concepts, but to" just take existing technology and fine- tune it," Fischer told" Cycle World" in 2003.
Styling for the new motorcycle was done by British designer Glynn Kerr.
In earlier stages, there were plans to produce Rotax- based 90 ° V-twins.
Rotax subsequently voided an agreement with Fischer in order to supply engines to Harley's Buell, with the Rotax 1000cc v-twin which had been used in Aprilia products and Fischer's first prototype ultimately supplied in a revised version for Buell 1125- series products.,
Fischer had begun shipping units, and in October 2009 announced a production increase for the 2010 model year.
Fischer appears to have ceased production in 2012.
A" few dozen" bikes were produced during the Fischer's three years of operation.
In 2015, an Indian motorcycle blog reported that Fischer had plans to make an entry into India with its new 150 cc bikes, likely to be named Fischer MRX 150.
