History
History
C. H. Blomstrom had been involved with the Queen, Blomstrom, Gyroscope, Car De Luxe and the Lion when he turned to developing a cyclecar. Unusual for cyclecars, the Rex had front-wheel drive. The friction transmission had its discs at the front of the engine instead of the rear. The water-cooled four-cylinder 18-hp engine of the Rex was designed by Blomstrom. The car was on a 100-inch wheelbase, with a 48-inch tread. A side-by-side two-seater, the Rex weighed 580 pounds and was priced at $395,. Very few were made.
