About the marque

Asheville, United States

Asheville Light Car Company operated at Asheville, North Carolina, during the American cyclecar boom of 1914–1915. Its only documented automobile was a compact two-seat roadster powered by a 7 hp V-twin and riding on a 2,388 mm wheelbase. No dependable surviving source exposes a model designation beyond Light Car, a production total or a broader range. The concern disappeared in 1915 as the brief cyclecar market contracted.
