The Nielson was an automobile built in Detroit, Michigan by the Nielson Motor Car Company in 1907.
The Nielson was built as a two-seater runabout equipped with a single-cylinder 12 hp air-cooled engine. The engine was located behind the seat, and was equipped with a friction transmission and double-chain drive. The vehicle was priced at $800, equivalent to $27,129 in 2023. E. A .Nielson drove his runabout to New York City and displayed it at the Selzer Garage. [1]
Automotive historians have speculated that E .A. Nielson may have been Emil A. Nelson who had previously worked for Packard and who would do design work for Hupmobile beginning in 1908. [1]
