Weidely Motors Company was an early motor company based in Indianapolis, IN. Weidely started in 1915.[1] It made engines for Premier, Chalmers, Cletrac crawlers and Owen Magnetic cars.[2] They also made a V-12 engine for the 1917 Pathfinder and 1920 Heine-Velox.[2]
George Weidely and H.O. Smith, started the Premier Motor Manufacturing Company on December 24, 1902.[1] Weidely was an innovative engine designer and created an early overhead valve V-12.[1] Premier went into receivership in 1914 so they took the rights and development of the Premier engine and formed the Weidely Engine Company in partnership with R.M. Owen who was president of the Entz Motor Corporation.[1] Research has not revealed when the company closed but it made engines for Cletrac up to 1932.[2]
