Research on The Templars Motor Corporation

Templar Top Valve Motor

from the Archives of The Most Revd. Gary Beaver KGCtJ

 

Knowledge of this little known car manufacturer has almost vanished over the passing of time, even though the car that takes the name of our ancient Knights Templar Order was a high quality, economical to run quality vehicle of the 1920's.

After much research, these original advertisements published in "The Literary Digest" dated August 31st 1918 and January 17th 1920 were found in an antique bookshop in Canada. But imagine our excitement when the kind supporter of our Magistral Grand Priory also located an original hood (bonnet) mascot from the Templar Sportette.
