The Lorraine was an automobile built in Grand Rapids, Michigan by the Lorraine Motors Corporation from 1920 to 1922.[1]
History
The Lorraine was an assembled car that succeeded the Hackett. The vehicle was powered by a four-cylinder Herchell-Spillman engine and was available in both open and closed models. Only a few hundred cars were sold.[1]
Prices ranged from $1,695 to $2,590, (equivalent to $47,145 in 2023). Plans for David Dunbar Buick to build a larger Lorraine with an IOE engine did not go past the prototype stage before the company declared bankruptcy.[1]
