Service-Relay Motors Corporation was building a range of Relay, Service, Commerce and Garford motor trucks but decided to produce an automobile called the Worldmobile. It was planned that the Worldmobile would be produced by a new company to be called the Worldwide Company but this did not happen.

The Worldmobile was a large six-passenger sedan car powered by a 65 hp eight-cylinder engine. A number of prototypes are reported to have been built and one still survives. The body styling of the Worldmobile was ordinary and very much out of date for its time. The Worldmobile was unlikely to have succeeded in any case, but the Service-Relay Corporation was itself going through changes in its ownership and management. In the event, the Worldmobile did not proceed into production. 

Emblem

The Standard Catalog of American Cars suggests that "the prettiest thing about the Worldmobile was its radiator badge". The metal Worldmobile radiator emblem shown above is ultra rare.
