The Case Model A had a 20/24hp 4-cylinder air-cooled engine, friction drive, and what were describes as ‘Fawkes airless tyres’. The price for the Canadian Case was $2.000.
The American Case was a conventional car made by one of America’s best-known makers of threshing machines, steam traction engines and agricultural tractors. The Case cars were mainly sold through the farm equipment dealers. At first 4-cylinder Case cars only were made, the 1914 range consisting of a ‘Case 25’, ‘Case 35’, and powerful ‘Case 40’, but a Continental-engined Case six was offered for 1918. This was available in three body styles, a touring, a sedan, and a ‘sport’, which was a close-coupled open four-seater. The engine was rated at 29.4hp (3.9-litres), and this was gradually increased to 31.5hp (5.3-litres) by 1923. These 6-cylinder engines were all by Continental, and usually only one size was offered each year, although in some years (such as 1923) an overlap between Case models made two sizes available. From 1924 a smaller Case six of 4-litres was made, but in decreasing quantities, and in 1927 Case car production ceased. The Case company is still active and well-known in the field of agricultural tractors and other farm equipment. These, like the Case cars, carry the eagle emblem modelled on ‘Old Abe’, the famous mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Regiment from 1861 to 1881.
