1926 Wills Sainte Claire Roadster
Add to SetSummary
The Wills Sainte Claire, built in Marysville, Michigan, from 1921 to 1926, was the brainchild of C. Harold Wills, a principal designer behind Ford's Model T. Though the Wills Sainte Claire was well made, Wills launched his company during a difficult economic recession. He couldn't keep retail prices as low as he hoped, nor build enough cars to be profitable.
