The Adelphia was a car made for export by the Winfield Barnes Company of Philadelphia. The car was announced in the summer of 1920 but, in October 1920, a notice appeared announcing the end of the Adelphia due to lack of money as working capital. The Adelphia was a 39 hp four-cylinder touring car with a Rolls-Royce style radiator. Very few Adelphia cars were produced.

Emblem

The Adelphia radiator emblem shown above was made by Whitehead & Hoag and is extremely rare. There are reproductions of this emblem and one sold recently on eBay for a very high price, so beware.
