Colonial (1921 automobile)
Encyclopedia
The Colonial was an American automobile manufactured in Boston
from 1921 until 1922.
Although the company pledged to produce "in excess of 100 cars" during its first year in business, no more than a dozen are believed to have left the factory. Each car had a 130-inch wheelbase
and a six-cylinder Beaver engine. A complete line of open and closed body
styles was advertised, but the few completed models all appear to have been open. A 12-cylinder Colonial with a Weidely engine was proposed to augment production of the 1921 line, but it does not seem to have materialized.
