From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Farner was an automobile manufactured in the United States of America at Streator, Illinois by OM Farner between 1922 and 1923. The Farner Model A had a 115-inch wheelbase, a tourer body, and had a Falls XP9000 six-cylinder engine, [1] and sold for $1195. [2]

In 1923 Farner reduced the price of the Model A to $1095 in an attempt to increase sales, [2] but the Farner Motor Car Company was out of business by the end of the year. [2]

OM Farner left Streator and his family at the end of 1923, and spent the next fifteen years in Lowell, Massachusetts, until returning to Streator in 1938. [2] He never explained what he had been doing in those fifteen years. [2]
