The Jacquet Motor Corporation was established in January 1920 with a plan to produce a high performance, very fast sport-roadster. The car was designed by Alfred J. Jackson, who was the company presdent with Charles Marquet in charge of experimental work and production. Between them, these two executives provided the "Jacquet" name.
The Jacquet Flyer was an 82 hp four-cylinder two-seat car with an aluminum body and wire wheels.
Financial support was found in Belding, Michigan but there were problems, probably with finance and the management. Alfred Jackson was voted out of the company and the first Jacquet Flyer was not built until September 1920 with four other cars reported to be in "various stages of construction". The company requested further finance to commence production but this was not found and by the end of 1920 production of the Jacquet Flyer was put on hold with only one Jacquet Flyer known to have been built.
The all metal Jacquet Flyer emblem shown above at the top of this post is believed to be original and, if so, would be ultra rare.
