The Motor Wagon Company of Detroit, Michigan built a range of 800 lb to 1000 lb capacity open express light trucks from 1912 to 1913.
The first Motor Wagon trucks were powered by 16 hp two-cylinder engines, with later trucks offered with four-cylinder engines. All Motor Wagon trucks were chain driven and used pneumatic tires. The Motor Wagon was also called the Detroit Motor Wagon.
The Motor Wagon was also offered as a passenger car.
This photo of the passenger car version of the Motor Wagon shows the radiator with an emblem on the radiator tank top but the detail is unclear.
