Kermath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kermath was an automobile built in Detroit, Michigan by the Kermath Motor Car Company from 1907-08. They built a small four-seater runabout with a tear-drop shaped radiator and bonnet. It was offered with a 26 hp, four-cylinder engine with a three-speed transmission and shaft drive. The front axle was tubular.
The Kermath car was built by James Kermath, who immigrated to the Detroit area from somewhere in Canada. He also founded Kermath Marine Engines. They produced engines from sometime in the 1910' until sometime in the 1950's in models from single cylinders to V-12s. The Kermath slogan was "a Kermath always runs". Many engines were ahead of their time, with various models having one or more of the following features: Overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual magnetos.
