Wolverine (automobile company)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wolverine car was made by the Reid Manufacturing Company of Detroit, US from 1904 to 1905. The prototype was designed by Walter L. Marr. A test drive by Cycle and Automobile Journal reported that the car was good.[1] In 1906 the company moved to Dundee, Michigan, and changed its name to Wolverine Automobile & Commercial Company of Dundee.[1] where it closed in 1908.

This make was superseded by the Craig-Toledo.[2]
