1914 Dayton Cyclecar
The Dayton was one of the many cyclecars of the teens. It was built in Joliet, Illinois in a building that still exists today. I knew of this car through my parents church membership. At time of photos it was in Palos Heights, Illinois, not far from Joliet. It had since relocated to Texas west of Fort Worth where I have lost contact. I've posted it on various sites over the years. Thought Rumbleseat a good place for it to be seen now.
Have never found that any other Dayton exists. Did find a newspaper clipping that there was a race to prove the car's viability from Joliet to Chicago. By the looks of this car, I'm guessing that this car survives because it was the car that won the race. Posting for the sale of history. BTW, the Joliet museum had NO information when I visited there!
