Vulcan Manufacturing Company was an American brass era automobile manufacturer based in Painesville, Ohio, founded in 1914.[1]
Vulcan's first products were the Model 27 speedster and five-passenger tourer. They ran on a 115 in (2,900 mm) wheelbase and had a 27 hp (20 kW) engine 3+3⁄8 in × 5 in (86 mm × 127 mm) and left-hand drive.[1] The speedster was US$750 and the tourer $850, compared to $650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout.[2]
The Vulcan Power Wagon truck was produced around 1915, at least some under license by Driggs-Seabury, and was rated at three to seven tons depending on model.[3][4]
