Farner (automobile)
The Farner was an automobile manufactured in the United States of America at Streator, Illinois by OM Farner between 1922 and 1923. The Farner Model A had a 115-inch wheelbase, a tourer body, and had a Falls XP9000 six-cylinder engine,[1] and sold for $1195.[2]
In 1923 Farner reduced the price of the Model A to $1095 in an attempt to increase sales,[2] but the Farner Motor Car Company was out of business by the end of the year.[2]
OM Farner left Streator and his family at the end of 1923, and spent the next fifteen years in Lowell, Massachusetts, until returning to Streator in 1938.[2] He never explained what he had been doing in those fifteen years.[2]
