Ariel (American automobile)

1906 Ariel

The Ariel was made by the Ariel Company from 1905 to 1906 in Boston, Massachusetts, and Bridgeport, Connecticut. The car was available with either an air-cooled or a water-cooled engine, either of which had a single overhead camshaft and delivered 30 horsepower. The radiator was oval in shape, similar to those of Delaunay-Belleville cars. Ariel's slogan, "Look for the Oval Front," was based on this feature.[1]

In 1907, production of the Ariel was transferred to the Sinclair-Scott Company of Baltimore, Maryland,[2] who changed the brand name to Maryland.[1]
