Sainte Claire was the brainchild of Childe Harold Wills,
so named because his mother was a great admirer of Byron.
After becoming a millionaire working for Ford, Wills
struck out on his own. He had a factory built on the
bank of of the Saint Claire River, added final E's to the
name for class, and sold his first cars in 1921. The
cars were excellent and expensive, but Wills was too much
of a perfectionist for his own good. He often shut
down production to make improvements, and never made
enough cars to earn a profit. By 1927, the Wills
Sainte Claire Company faded away, leaving behind a
production 12,107 fine cars in seven years, and its
distinctive Canadian Goose trademark. |
