The Darmont 3-wheeler was closely based on the contemporary Morgan, being almost indistinguishable in appearance. Two sv models were made, the air-cooled Darmont Etoile de France, and a water-cooled version. The most powerful was the ohv Darmont Spéciale which could be had in supercharged form when it was capable of nearly 100mph. The engines were French-built versions of the Blackburne. In 1936 Darmont introduced a light sporting 4-wheeler, the Darmont V-Junior, powered by a 1100cc V-twin engine. Like the 3-wheelers, it had Morgan-type independent front suspension.

The Murray car was a light runabout on similar lines to the Curved Dash Oldsmobile, built by a former Olds engineer. The Murray car had a 6hp single-cylinder water-cooled engine, epicyclic gearbox and single chain drive. About 1.000 Murray cars were produced before the makers turned to a larger car, the Lenawee.
The Murray Eight with its V8 motot and Rolls-Royce style of radiator, was a prestige car of the World War 1 period and the Murray car sold at a reasonable price and had an enviable clientele of owners and enthusiasts.
