Billiken

1914-1914

Billiken was an American automobile brand established in 1914 by the Milwaukee Cyclecar Company, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company produced a cyclecar known as the Billiken, which was powered by a 1.6-litre, 12-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. The vehicle featured an epicyclic gearbox and a shaft drive system.

Production of the Billiken was limited, and by June 1914, the company had plans to relocate to Sacramento, California. However, the Milwaukee Cyclecar Company ceased operations before this move could be realized. The brand's name, "Billiken," was derived from a small Buddha-like figure that was marketed as an accessory for any make of car.
