The Moline car was launched as a modest five-seater car with flat-twin or 4-cylinder engines. The twin Moline car was chain-driven, with a 2-speed planetary transmission. In 1912, Moline cars was among the first manufacturers to make a feature of a long-stroke engine (6in), of 35hp. In 1914 the sleeve-valve Knight engine was used on Moline cars; it was standardized a year later, when a 4-speed gearbox was adopted. Body types of Moline cars included a limousine and a closed sedan. In 1916, the wheelbase of the Moline car was shortened and smaller engines were used. The last Moline cars offered 4-cylinder power units of 3.6- and 5-litres. In 1919, the Moline-Knight became the R. & V. Knight.
