Cornelian automobile

The Cornelian was a 1914 American automobile built expressly for racing. It had chain drive and was the smallest such configuration to be raced at the Indianapolis Speedway.[1]

The 1914 Cornelian was manufactured by Howard E. Blood (of the Allegan, Michigan-based Blood Brothers Machine Company), who had joined forces with Swiss racecar driver Louis Chevrolet. Chevrolet used a Cornelian to qualify for the 1915 Indy 500 race, with a qualifying speed of 81.01 mph (130.373 km/h). Chevrolet did not finish the race, having to drop out on the 77th lap when an engine valve failed (he placed 20th in the results).[2] However, the appearance was good for business, and orders came into Blood's office. However, only a few units had been produced[3] when Blood halted production.

The cycle car was powered by a 4 Cylinder Sterling engine [4] and boasted a light weight of 500 kg (1,102 lb) displacing 103 cubic inches (1.7 L). The automobile body was monocoque; the rear wheels had independent suspension, and the front wheels were mounted on a Transverse leaf spring front suspension with a solid axle.

The Museum of American Speed has one of these vehicles on display.
