<div>[[File:13-Car-Nation0058.jpg|right|thumb|200px|1913 Car-Nation roadster]]<br />
The '''Car-Nation''' (also known as '''Carnation''') was a brand of [[automobile]] manufactured in [[Detroit, Michigan]], by the American Voiturette Company from 1913-1914. <br />
<br />
The Car-Nation roadster was an {{convert|1100|lb|abbr=on}} [[cyclecar]] costing $495. The vehicle had a four-cylinder [[Herreshoff]] "25" engine and a 3 speed transmission. <br />
<br />
Car-Nation also manufactured a larger four-seat Tourer model with a base price of $520. They also advertised a fore-and-aft tandem; it's not known if more than a few protoypes were produced. Two roadsters and five touring cars are known to survive.<br />
<br />
In 1912, former [[Pope-Toledo]] manager [[Forrest Keeton]] moved his Keeton Towncar Works into a factory in Wyandotte, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior, and formed the Keeton Motor Company. He began construction of his first “French-like” car, the big Renault-influenced, air-cooled Keeton. It sold well enough to allow Keeton in 1913 to launch a second line of continental-influenced, low priced cars under a new name: Car-Nation. All that activity apparently attracted the attention of oil magnate [[Charles Schaeffer]], and shortly after the introduction of the new car, the short-lived Car-Nation Motorette Co. and the existing Keeton Motor Co. unified under his ownership, reincorporating as the [[American Voiturette Company]] in Detroit. <br />
<br />
Slow acceptance of the Car-Nation's nonstandard {{convert|48|in|mm|sing=on}} gauge and reported problems with the Herreshoff engines in the Car-Nation sent the company into receivership in 1914. At a [[public auction]] in February 1915, Forest Keeton appears to have bought the assets of the company, including 60 Keetons and 350 Car-Nations, along with machine tools and countless thousands of parts. But while he did supply repairs, he never again built a car.<br />

<div>'''Michael 'Mick' Farren''' (born [[3 September]] [[1943]], in [[Cheltenham]], [[Gloucestershire]]) is an English journalist, author and singer associated with the [[United Kingdom Underground|UK Underground]] and [[counterculture]] scene.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{main|The Deviants (band)}}<br />
Farren was the singer with the [[proto-punk]] English band [[The Deviants (band)|The Deviants]] between 1967 and 1969, releasing three albums. In 1970 he released the solo album ''[[Mona – The Carnivorous Circus]]'' which also featured [[Steve Peregrin Took]], [[John Gustafson (musician)|John Gustafson]] and [[Paul Buckmaster]], before leaving the music business to concentrate on his writing.<br />
<br />
In the mid-1970s, he briefly returned to music releasing the EP ''Screwed Up'', album ''[[Vampires Stole My Lunch Money]]'' and single "Broken Statue". The album featured fellow NME journalist [[Chrissie Hynde]] and [[Dr. Feelgood]] guitarist Wilko Johnson.<br />
<br />
He has sporadically returned to music, collaborating with [[Wayne Kramer (guitarist)|Wayne Kramer]] on ''Who Shot You Dutch?'' and ''Death Tongue'', Jack Lancaster on ''The Deathray Tapes'' and Andy Colquhoun on The Deviants albums ''[[Eating Jello With a Heated Fork]]'' and ''[[Dr. Crow]]''.<br />
<br />
Aside from his own work, he has provided lyrics for various musician friends over the years. He has collaborated with [[Lemmy]], co-writing "Lost Johnny" for [[Hawkwind]], and "Keep Us on the Road" and "Damage Case" for [[Motörhead]]. With Larry Wallis, he co-wrote "When's the Fun Begin?" for the [[Pink Fairies]] and several tracks on Wallis' solo album ''Death in a Guitar Afternoon''.

==Writing==<br />
In the early 1970s he contributed to the UK [[Underground press]] such as the [[International Times]], also establishing ''Nasty Tales'' which he successfully defended from an obscenity charge. He went on to write for the main stream ''[[New Musical Express]]'', where he wrote the article ''The Titanic Sails At Dawn'', an analysis of what he saw as the malaise afflicting then-contemporary rock music which described the conditions that subsequently gave rise to [[Punk rock|punk]].<ref>The Titanic Sails At Dawn, NME, June 19, 1976, pp. 5-6 [http://www.thanatosoft.freeserve.co.uk/damagedfiles/articles/titanic.htm]</ref><br />
<br />
To date he has written 23 novels, including the ''[[Victor Renquist]]'' novels and the ''DNA Cowboys'' sequence. His prophetic 1989 novel ''The Armageddon Crazy'' deals with a post-2000 United States which is dominated by fundamentalists who dismantle the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Farren has written 11 works of non-fiction, a number of biographical (including four on [[Elvis Presley]]), autobiographical and culture books (such as [[The Black Leather Jacket]]) and a plethora of poetry.<br />

<br />
He was a prominent activist in the [[White Panthers]] UK movement.<br />

==Writing==<br />
In the early 1970s he contributed to the UK [[Underground press]] such as the [[International Times]], also establishing ''Nasty Tales'' which he successfully defended from an obscenity charge. He went on to write for the main stream ''[[New Musical Express]]'', where he wrote the article ''The Titanic Sails At Dawn'', an analysis of what he saw as the malaise afflicting then-contemporary rock music which described the conditions that subsequently gave rise to [[Punk rock|punk]].<ref>The Titanic Sails At Dawn, NME, June 19, 1976, pp. 5-6 [http://www.thanatosoft.freeserve.co.uk/damagedfiles/articles/titanic.htm]</ref><br />
<br />
To date he has written 23 novels, including the ''[[Victor Renquist]]'' novels and the ''DNA Cowboys'' sequence. His prophetic 1989 novel ''The Armageddon Crazy'' deals with a post-2000 United States which is dominated by fundamentalists who dismantle the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Farren has written 11 works of non-fiction, a number of biographical (including four on [[Elvis Presley]]), autobiographical and culture books (such as [[The Black Leather Jacket]]) and a plethora of poetry.<br />
<br />
Since 2003, he has been a columnist for the weekly [[Los Angeles CityBeat]].<br />

<div>[[Image:13-Car-Nation0058.jpg|right|thumb|200px|1913 Car-Nation roadster]]<br />
The '''Car-Nation''' (also known as '''Carnation''') was a brand of [[automobile]] manufactured in [[Detroit, Michigan]], by the American Voiturette Company from 1913-1914. <br />
<br />
The Car-Nation roadster was an 1,100 lb [[cyclecar]] costing $495. The vehicle had a four-cylinder Herreshoff "25" engine and a 3 speed transmission. <br />
<br />
Car-Nation also manufactured a larger four-seat Tourer model with a base price of $520. They also advertised a fore-and-aft tandem; it's not known if more than a few protoypes were produced. Two roadsters and five touring cars are known to survive.<br />
<br />
In 1912, former Pope-Toledo manager Forest Keeton moved his Keeton Towncar Works into a factory in Wyandotte, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior, and formed the Keeton Motor Company. He began construction of his first “French-like” car, the big Renault-influenced, air-cooled Keeton. It sold well enough to allow Keeton in 1913 to launch a second line of continental-influenced, low priced cars under a new name: Car-Nation. All that activity apparently attracted the attention of oil magnate [[Charles Schaeffer]], and shortly after the introduction of the new car, the short-lived Car-Nation Motorette Co. and the existing Keeton Motor Co. unified under his ownership, reincorporating as the American Voiturette Company in Detroit. <br />
<br />
Slow acceptance of the Car-Nation's nonstandard 48-inch gauge and reported problems with the Herreshoff engines in the Car-Nation sent the company into receivership in 1914. At a public auction in February of 1915, Forest Keeton appears to have bought the assets of the company, including 60 Keetons and 350 Car-Nations, along with machine tools and countless thousands of parts. But while he did supply repairs, he never again built a car.<br />

The '''Car-Nation''' (also known as '''Carnation''') was a brand of [[automobile]] manufactured in [[Detroit, Michigan]], by the American Voiturette Company from 1913-1914. <br />
<br />
The Car-Nation Roadster was a {{convert|700|lb|abbr=on}}. [[cyclecar]] costing $495. The vehicle had a four-cylinder air cooled engine and a 3 speed transmission. <br />
<br />
Car-Nation also manufactured a somewhat larger four-seat Tourer model with a base price of $520. They also advertised a fore-and-aft tandem; it's not known if more than a few protoypes were produced. Two roadsters and five touring cars are known to survive.<br />
<br />
In 1912, former Pope-Toledo manager Forest Keeton moved his Keeton Towncar Works into a factory in Wyandotte, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior, and formed the Keeton Motor Company. He began construction of his first “French-like” car, the big Renault-influenced, air-cooled Keeton. It sold well enough to allow Keeton in 1913 to launch a second line of continental-influenced, low priced cars under a new name: Car-Nation. All that activity apparently attracted the attention of oil magnate [[Charles Schaeffer]], and shortly after the introduction of the new car, the short-lived Car-Nation Motorette Co. and the existing Keeton Motor Co. unified under his ownership, reincorporating as the American Voiturette Company in Detroit. <br />
<br />
Slow acceptance of the Car-Nation's nonstandard 48-inch gauge and reported problems with the Herreshoff engines in the Car-Nation sent the company into receivership in 1914. At a public auction in February of 1915, Forest Keeton appears to have bought the assets of the company, including 60 Keetons and 350 Car-Nations, along with machine tools and countless thousands of parts. But while he did supply repairs, he never again built a car.<br />

<div>[[Image:1913 Car-Nation Tourer C.jpg|right|thumb|200px|1913 Car-Nation Tourer]]<br />
The '''Car-Nation''' (also known as '''Carnation''') was a brand of [[automobile]] manufactured in [[Detroit, Michigan]], by the American Voiturette Company from 1913-1914. <br />
<br />
The Car-Nation Roadster was a {{convert|700|lb|abbr=on}}. [[cyclecar]] costing $495. The vehicle had a four-cylinder air cooled engine and a 3 speed transmission. <br />
<br />
Car-Nation also manufactured a somewhat larger four-seat Tourer model with a base price of $520. They also advertised a fore-and-aft tandem; it's not known if more than a few protoypes were produced. Two roadsters and five touring cars are known to survive.<br />
<br />
In 1912, former Pope-Toledo manager Forest Keeton moved his Keeton Towncar Works into a factory in Wyandotte, Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior, and formed the Keeton Motor Company. He began construction of his first “French-like” car, the big Renault-influenced, air-cooled Keeton. It sold well enough to allow Keeton in 1913 to launch a second line of continental-influenced, low priced cars under a new name: Car-Nation. All that activity apparently attracted the attention of oil magnate [[Charles Schaeffer]], and shortly after the introduction of the new car, the short-lived Car-Nation Motorette Co. and the existing Keeton Motor Co. unified under his ownership, reincorporating as the American Voiturette Company in Detroit. <br />
<br />
Slow acceptance of the Car-Nation's nonstandard 48-inch gauge and reported problems with the Herreshoff engines in the Car-Nation sent the company into receivership in 1914. At a public auction in February of 1915, Forest Keeton appears to have bought the assets of the company, including 60 Keetons and 350 Car-Nations, along with machine tools and countless thousands of parts. But while he did supply repairs, he never again built a car.<br />

'''Cyclecars''' were small, generally inexpensive cars manufactured mainly between 1910 and the late 1920s.<br />
<br />
==General description==<br />
Cyclecars were propelled by single cylinder, V-twin or more rarely four cylinder engines, often air cooled. Sometimes these had been originally used in [[motorcycle]]s and other components from this source such as gearboxes were also employed. Cyclecars were half way between motorcycles and cars and were fitted with lightweight bodies, sometimes in a tandem two-seater configuration and could be primitive with minimal comfort and weather protection. They used various layouts and means of transmitting the engine power to the wheels, such as [[Belt (mechanical)|belt drive]] or [[chain drive]] often to one rear wheel only to avoid having to provide a [[differential]]. <br />
<br />
The rise of cyclecars was a direct result of reduced taxation both for registration and annual licences of lightweight small engined cars. In France, for example, a car classed for reduced rates if it weighed less than 350&nbsp;kg.<br />
<br />
On [[14 December]] [[1912]], at a meeting of the Federation Internationale des Clubs Moto Cycliste, it was formally decided that there should be an international classification of cyclecars to be accepted by the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Germany. It was also decided to establish two classes of cyclecars, as follows;<br />
*(i) Large class<br />
**Maximum weight 350 kg<br />
**Maximum engine capacity 1100 cc<br />
**Minimum tyre section 60 mm.<br />
*(ii) Small class<br />
**Minimum weight 150 kg<br />
**Maximum weight 300 kg <br />
**Maximum engine capacity 750 cc<br />
**Minimum tyre section 55 mm.<br />
<br />
All cyclecars were to have clutches and change-speed gears. This requirement could be fulfilled by even the simplest devices such as provision for slipping the belt on the pulley to act as a clutch, and varying of the pulley diameter to change the gear ratio.<br />
<br />
==The cyclecars appear==<br />
From 1898 to 1910, [[automobile]] production quickly expanded. Light cars of that era were commonly known as [[voiturette]]s. The smaller cyclecars appeared around 1910 with a boom shortly before the outbreak of [[World War I]].<br />
<br />
The first successful cyclecars were [[Bédélia]] of [[France]] and [[G.N.]] from Britain.<br />
<br />
==Sporting cars and cyclecar races==<br />
Some cyclecars such as [[Amilcar]], [[Major (automobile)|Major]] or [[Salmson]] of [[France]] had good enough performance and handling to be regarded as sports cars.<br />
<br />
Races dedicated for cyclecars were also run with the first event of this kind organised by the [[Automobile Club de France]] in 1913 and a Cyclecar GP at [[Le Mans]] in 1920.<br />
<br />
==The decline of cyclecars==<br />
By the early 1920s, the days of the cyclecar were numbered. Mass producers, such as [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], were able to reduce their prices to undercut those of the usually small cyclecar makers. Similar affordable cars were offered in Europe such as the [[Citroën Type C|Citroën 5CV]], [[Austin 7]] or [[Morris Cowley]]. <br />
<br />
The cyclecar boom was over. The majority of cyclecar manufacturers closed down. Some companies such as [[Chater-Lea]] survived by returning to the manufacture of motorcycles.<br />
<br />
After [[World War II]], small, economic cars were again in demand and a new set of manufacturers appeared. The cyclecar name did not reappear however and the cars were called [[microcar]]s by enthusiasts and [[bubble car]]s by the general population.<br />
