Fauber was an American automobile manufacturer established in 1914 in Indianapolis, Indiana, by William H. Fauber. The company initially focused on producing cyclecars, a type of lightweight automobile that was popular during the early 20th century.
The first vehicle introduced by Fauber was a two-wheeled model known as the bi-car. This vehicle featured an 8-horsepower, two-cylinder engine, a motorcycle-type frame, and a tandem two-seater body. It included stabilizer wheels to maintain balance when stationary. Priced at $295, Fauber claimed that individuals could save $100 by constructing the vehicle themselves.
Later in the same year, Fauber expanded its offerings with a four-wheeled cyclecar that utilized the same engine. This model had an 80-inch (2030 mm) wheelbase and was available in both two-seater and light delivery van configurations. Remarkably, this four-wheeled version was priced lower than the bi-car, at $285. Fauber also mentioned that he had previously built 100 cars in 1902, although these were produced by Walter Marr, for whom Fauber had worked prior to establishing his own company.
