Overview
Overview
Prices ranged from US$1,200 to $1,500. In 1912 the company claimed to have the highest power-to-price ratio of any car at or above the $1,200 price. Cuttings were entered into the Indianapolis 500 in 1911 and 1912, placing top 15 in the former year but crashing mid-race in the latter. The company failed c. 1913 due to lack of sufficient initial capital; liabilities exceeded $350,000. It was sold in October 1913 for $30,000 (and assumption of two mortgages) to L. Erbes manufactured the L.C.E. in Waterloo, Iowa from 1915 through 1916; models were a Touring, Roadster, and a "Gentleman's Speedster", which had a top speed of over. The death of Burman, combined with persistent material shortages, led Erbes to discontinue production after 1916, although he stayed in the automobile business dealing parts for "orphan" cars.
