The Earl was an automobile manufactured in
Jackson, Michigan
by Earl Motors Incorporated from 1921 to 1923. The Earl was a continuation of the
Briscoe
. The Model 40 offered both open and closed models with a four-
cylinder
engine. Approximately 2,000 vehicles were produced. When the Earl debuted in 1921, the tourer cost just 85. The company also claimed that 0 worth of "extras", such as linoleum floor boards and carpets front and rear were included in the base price.
Benjamin Briscoe
appointed Clarence A. Earl as
president
of Briscoe Motor Corporation in March 1921. Earl had previously been
vice-president
of
Willys-Overland
. Briscoe suddenly left in October of the same year, tired of all the misfortune he had suffered in the automotive field to date. He left his car and company to Earl. Earl then announced to the press that he would be forming Earl Motors and bringing out a new four-cylinder car. This was really just the Briscoe car with small modifications to solve some of its problems, as well as being slightly larger and more powerful.
Earl assumed many problems with the company, not least of which was one and a half million dollars of debt.
Luckily, Clarence Earl easily raised more capital from bankers. On the Earl Motors
board
were several bankers, as well as executives from various supplier firms. Included in the latter group was
George C. Scobie
, who had been with
Price-Waterhouse
and Hayes Wheel Company, and was now vice-president of the new organization. Clarence Earl developed disagreements with all these board members over the future path of his company, and resigned in November 1922. He then became president of
National
. Earl had wanted to become a high-volume producer, while the rest of the board preferred a lower-volume, more fiscally conservative approach.
The bankers and supplier executives now took over the company, with George Scobie as president.
They promptly reorganized as the Earl Motor Manufacturing Company in early 1923. The new company was
capitalized
at one million dollars. Soon, this group failed in pursuing their favored lower-volume approach, taking the company down with them. Early in 1924, servicing rights to the now defunct Earl were sold to Standard Motor Parts Company of
Detroit
. Total Earl production was approximately 1,900 cars.
Rarity
There are only a handful of Earl Custom Roadsters left in the world. There have been persistent incorrect reports that an Earl Roadster is on display at the Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, Michigan. The museum curator has reported that people have driven as far as South Carolina to see the vehicle. However the museum does not have such a vehicle (as of 4 August 2011). Private owners of Earl Roadsters are thought to exist in Jackson.
So there you go a very rare instructions booklet containing information pictures and having 53 pages. It is in rough used condition but is clearly readable. If your a luckie one to own one of these vehicles and do not have this it is
PRICELESS.
