Lafayette
US, 1920 – 1924
(1) Lafayette Motors Co, Mars Hill, Ind., 1920 – 1923
(2) Lafayette Motors Co, Milwaukee, Wisc., 1923 – 1924
The Lafayette car was a luxurious, lavishly equipped V8 designed by D. McCall White, who had been responsible for the V8 Cadillac of 1915. The sv engine of the Lafayette car developed 100bhp at 2.750rpm. The thermostatically controlled radiator shutters were a pioneering feature of Lafayette cars. The price of the Lafayette car ran as high as $7.500 for the limousine. In 1923 Nash Motors acquired control of Lafayette Motors and continued to make the big eight for a short while, as a luxury line, but soon dropped it. The Lafayette car name was revived by Nash in 1934 for their cheapest line.
