Dagmar (automobile)
Dagmar was an American automobile brand, under the 1922-1926 in Hagerstown (Maryland) cars were built.
The brand was introduced by the Dane Mathias Peter Moller 1922. The six-cylinder model 6-70 was the sporting equivalent of the Crawford Model 6-70, the Moller made in his 1921 all acquired company Crawford Automobile Company. The car named after his daughter Dagmar Moller. In memory of his homeland Denmark, Dagmar contributed to 1924 the coat of arms of the Danish royal family. Then it could not be used at the initiative of the Danish royal family. Another dispute came up with Packard, since Moller red hexagons had fixed on the hub caps of Dagmar which were protected as trademarks of Packard Motor Car Company. Against the almost brazen copy of the radiator grille Packard went strangely, not before. 1923 were manufactured in a production year with 135 copies, the most Dagmar.
The Sport Victoria ( 2-door touring car ) was equipped with the same 70 hp Continental inline six- cylinder engine as its more luxurious sister model and had the same wheelbase of 3,505 mm. In contrast to Crawford had some Dagmar fender from flat metal sheets rounded instead of the usual. This was considered particularly chic.
In March 1924 Moller was on the Crawford brand and renamed the company into MP Moller Motor Car Company. The production of Dagmar vehicles - all six-cylinder - was never economically feasible and could only be maintained as a " hobby " of the owner, because the organ building firm well established for many years threw off enough profit.
Moller built a car rental and resorted not to the production of small series of taxis to the production of Dagmar having to set completely. These were sold under different names, such as Moller, Light Blue, Aristocrat, Paramount, Super Paramount, Astor, Five Boro or Twentieth Century.
1924 Moller also invested in a new venture for the production of particularly luxurious taxis. Some copies of the Luxor were completed in Hagerstown, by far the largest part, however, was the new home of the Luxor Cab Manufacturing Company in Framingham (Massachusetts ). Production ran from 1927. The company also presented the 1924-1925 Standish ago, a version of the Luxor for private clients.
1926 was still a huge, seven-seater sedan for Moller itself, which began in 1927 for an extended trip to Europe this. Thus ended the manufacture of complete automobiles.
The MP Moller Motor Car Company continued to provide taxi conversions and coachbuilt bodies for trucks on customer's until the mid- 1930s of years ago.
