Kirk Manufacturing Company (automobile company)
Kirk Manufacturing Company was a pioneer brass era American automobile company, built at 958 Oakwood Avenue, Toledo, Ohio,〔Clymer, Floyd. ''Treasury of Early American Automobiles, 1877-1925'' (New York: Bonanza Books, 1950), p.158.〕 from 1902 until 1905.
A manufacturer of bicycles, in 1899 Kirk announced it would begin building cars.〔Kimes, Beverly Rae. ''The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1805-1942'' (Iola, Wisconsin: Krause Publications, 1989), p.774.〕 They introduced the Yale in 1902. Describing it as "the Beau Brummel of the road",〔Clymer, p.158.〕 it had the choice of two gasoline engine models: a two-cylinder 14 hp (10 kW) side-entrance tourer for US$1000 and a four-cylinder 24 hp (18 kW) for US$2500. This compared to US$650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout,〔Clymer, p.32.〕 the $700 Ford Model S, US$1500 for the Colt Runabout〔Clymer, p.63.〕 and Cole 30,〔Clymer, p.104.〕 the US$1600 Oakland 40〔Clymer, p.84.〕 the FAL at US$1750,〔 and the Enger 40〔 and Ford Model F at $2,000. Even so, the Yale was well below even Lozier's lowest-price Light Six Metropolitan tourer and runabout, at US$3,250,〔Clymer, p.111.〕 American's entry-level car, at US$4250 (its highest was US$5250),〔Clymer, p.91.〕 or the Lozier Big Six, starting at US$5,000.〔
