1916 Biddle Model D

1916 Biddle Model D 1916 Biddle Model D 1916 Biddle Model D The Biddle was built in Philadelphia, and like other cars of the era, it was a vehicle assembled from components of other manufacturers - rear axle from Salisbury, worm and gear steering from Warner, wire wheels from Rudge-Whitworth, electrics from Westinghouse, and its 226.4 CID, 48 horsepower four-cylinder engine from Buda. Style and coachwork were Biddle hallmarks. The 120-inch wheelbase chassis was priced a $1,650 with a wide array of standard factory bodies in the $2,000 - $4,000 range available or with custom coachwork at the buyer's request.

What Biddle did best was to look good. As luxury cars went in 1916, the Biddle was on the smaller side, yet distinctive with its V-shaped radiator similar to Mercedes. Production was both limited and exclusive; 100 cars per year in 1915 and 1916, with no more than 500 in each of the three years following. The company went out of business in 1922.
