VULCAN radiator emblem

 

VULCAN (1902 - 1928 in Southport / Lancashire England) had a good reputation for solid, well-made cars with four and six cylinders.
In 1923 there was a connection with LEA FRANCIS, which made both marques remarkably similar [Dalton Watson]

VULCAN was one of the first car makers offering a factory masot. Before there were only accessory mascots.


" Ask the man who owns one "   : not only PACKARD used this slogan
