Here you see the emblem of the American COMET of Illinois.
They started car production in 1917 in Decatur / Illinois.
The COMET was an assembled car with a six-cylinder engine.
Cars were only produced when a firm dealership order was on hand.
Their slogan was: " This COMET has come to stay ".
In five years only 1,094 cars were made. But in 1920 / 1921 they sold 40 cars to Belgium / Europe and dreamed of an international succes. In vain. In 1921 they had to close down.
