1907 Wayne Model N news, pictures, and information

The Wayne Automobile Company was founded in 1904, in Wayne County (Detroit), Michigan, and offered small 2-cylinder cars and this larger 4-cylinder Model N.

A 1908 merger with Northern Manufacturing Company saw control go to Barney Everitt and Walter Flanders, who subsequently merged with William Metzger to form the E.M.F. Company, which built cars until absorbed by Studebaker.

This Model "N" is the only known survivor of a Model N Wayne. It is part of the Barney Polland Collection and has been in the hands of collectors for many decades until recently restored by the present owner.
The Wayne was produced between 1904 and 1908. There were approximately 600 produced during that time. This is the only remaining N in existence. The Model N has a 35 horsepower 4-cylinder engine with a 3-speed sliding gear transaxle.
