Velie Auto Dealers Report 1914 Line and Tests at Moline
Alex Parrigin reports from the Velie dealers convention in Moline where a Camp Deere tents village housed attendees. He notes 1914 Velie models including a Big Six and a 50hp Medium Six, four-cylinder touring car, and a six-cylinder roadster, all with Continental motors and Gray & Davis systems. Test runs of 100 miles are used to ensure quality before painting. An American motorcycle was shipped to James Brash in Home Farm Row, Hamilton, Scotland, chosen for simplicity of construction.
