DeWitt Motor Company
The DeWitt Motor Company was an American automobile manufacturer in North Manchester, Indiana from about 1908 through 1910. The vehicles came in two models, a 2-seater runabout and a 2-seater light truck. Both were high wheelers which resembled standard buggies of the era, and were powered by a simple 2-cylinder opposed air-cooled engine.
