The Bailey-Klapp Automobile & The Elwood Iron Works

The Bailey-Klapp was one of two American Automobiles whose forthcoming manufacture was announced in February 1915 by the Elwood Iron Works of Elwood, IN. The other was the Elco.

The unfortunate bankruptcy of the Elwood Iron Works a few months later called a halt to the Bailey-Klapp at the prototype stage. Rights to the other automobile The Elwood Iron Works was planning to produce was sold to The Bimel Automobile Co. in Sidney, Ohio.
