In 1912 Herman Broesel died and in 1913 his sons sold the company to Bankers Goodrich, Lockhart and Smith of New York, NY. Simplex output during the Broesel era was 235 to 250 automobiles. It was about this time that some production was moved to New Brunswick, New Jersey.
In the final two years of Simplex production a six cylinder engine that developed 46 horsepower was used. This six cylinder engine was a product of The Crane Motor Co. which The Simplex Automobile Co. purchased in 1914. This engine differed in having the cylinders cast in two blocks of three instead of three pairs. A selective sliding gear four speed transmission was used along with shaft drive. Features included 143 1/2 inch wheelbase, wood wheels, electric starter, electric lighting, dash instruments, jack and tools. The final year for the Simplex was 1917. The Simplex evolved into the Crane-Simplex as a product of the The Simplex Automobile Co. During World War I The Simplex Automobile Co. switched over to production of aircraft engines.
