1914 Grant Cyclecar Crankstart and Motoring Around!

In this video, catch us starting and a drive in our 1914 Grant - plus, Intern's first crank start!

The 1914 Grant roadster weighs 930 lbs., could reach a top speed of 50 mph with its little 12 hp engine, and achieved an impressive 30 mpg. One of America's first 'compact' cars, only 3,000 Grants were made in 1914, and very few Grants survive today.

The Grant was made by the Grant Motor Company from 1913 to 1922. They advertised it as the first high-grade motorcar to be sold under $500. The Grant combined the light weight and low cost of cyclecars with the quality, durability, comfort and wide tread of standard automobiles. The bull-nosed radiator was designed to provide additional cooling for the 4-cylinder inline L-head engine (95 cid).
