Are there any Drexel cars left?

[Mark Wetherbee]

I recently came across a watch fob advertising a Drexel and was curious to know if any automobiles still exist, I found pictures of the literature online but no cars. Does anyone know of any? Thanks in advance, Mark

Please post a couple of photos of your watch fob. I have a small collection of them but have never seen a Drexel.  Is there a makers name on the back of the fob?

Hi Terry, it’s good and marked by Bastion Brothers. Took a bit to find the literature that shows the emblem. Here’s a picture:

The Drexel Motor Car Corp. was based in Chicago IL, between 1916 and 1917. Only two models were offered. A Model 5-40 Touring car and a Model 7-60 Roadster. At $985 it was hard to compete with the Model T. It doesn't list production numbers but they probably were very small.

Wow, thats great.  Thanks for posting.  I always look at the back of fobs and without a makers name, quickly loose interest.  Ebay is littered with fakes, but this one is absolutely correct.   Gotta be a rare one.'

Thank you all for the information and comments, I was lucky enough to pick it up and was hopeful that a car existed.
