1914 Grant - Sales Pitch
From an advertising Pamphlet from 1914

The first standard high grade motor car to be sold under $500

Features at a glance: A standard car in every respect - standard tread, standard road clearance - design, materials and workmanship all up to the very highest standard of modern motor car practice.

Built by the Grant Motor Company of Findlay, Ohio, a strong, well established company composed of some of the best known men in the automobile industry.

Built in the Grant plant owned by the Grant Motor Company - a plant that is filled with the latest type of machinery capable of a production of 10,000 complete Grant cars a year.

A proven car, not an experimental feature about it. First designed over two years ago. Test cars have been on the road for over a year.

The most economical car ever built. Thirty miles to the gallon is the average gasoline consumption.

The Grant car will be owned and driven by men of every class. Never before has a car been brought out which would suit both the pocketbook of the man of moderate income and the critical taste of the man of means.

Cheap cars have, and will be produced, which run fairly well, but they have borne the unmistakable cheap car stamp, and every man who could afford to (and many who could not) have willingly paid the higher prices asked for other cars for the sake of driving a car they could be proud of.

But even if you are worth a million you can be proud to drive a Grant.

Look at the car - distinctive appearing, speedy, comfortable, dependable - the last word in body design and in mechanical construction.

It is a car that anyone can be proud to drive and - this is important - anyone can afford to.

You may spend one, two, even three thousand dollars for a car and not buy more of the essential features of a high grade motor car than you can get in a Grant for $495. Check it up for yourself and see.

Appearance - where can you buy at any price, a finer appearing car than the Grant? There is the same bull nose radiator, tapered hood, sweeping fenders, streamline body, low rakish appearance, that you will find on the higher priced imported cars.

Power - there is power enough under the hood of a Grant car to carry you through the deepest mud or sand, or up the steepest hill you will ever encounter. That is all the power any car should have to be efficient.

Speed - 50 miles an hour the Grant car will go - without urging - with practically no vibration or side sway. It is perfectly balanced.

Comfort - the comfort of a Grant car is a revelation. Nothing like it has ever been known in moderate priced car construction. It rides the bumps as smooth as the sway of a hammock. A day's touring over the roughest country in a Grant car will bring no fatigue.

Reliability - the same high test materials, the same precision in machine work are used in Grant construction that are used in building cars costing five times as much. Repair bills have been practically eliminated.

Economy - 30 miles to the gallon is the Grant gasoline consumption. The light weight enables the tires to give twice the ordinary mileage, and it only costs about forty dollars to replace the whole set. No car ever made has even approached the Grant in the matter of economy of operation.

Equipment - every necessary article of equipment from the top to the tail lamp is included in the price - $495.

Are we right? Are there any other essentials   that a high priced car offers you, that you can't get in the Grant?

Think it over.
