The Moline Automobile Company (1904 - 1919) was an American brass era automobile manufacturer in Moline, Illinois known for the Moline-Knight.
The Moline-Knight was an American automobile manufactured by the Moline Automobile Company located at 74 Keokuk Street in East Moline, Illinois, from 1904 to 1919. The car used a Knight engine.
In 1911, the Moline 35 was a two-seat roadster with a 4×6-inch (114×152-mm) gasoline engine and self starter, still a rarity then. It came complete with folding top, windshield, and Prest-O-Lite acetylene tank (for the headlights), all for US$1700. By contrast, a Brush Runabout was US$485, the Gale Model A roadster US$500. the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout US$650, a Colt Runabout US$1500, an Enger 40 US$2000, and American's base model was US$4250.
The 35 was joined in Moline's 1911 lineup by a four and a five passenger tourer and a four-passenger "toy tonneau", "all with self-starting", the ads bragged.
