The Detroit Air Cooled Car Company was supported by several prominent businessmen and was well financed. The first prototype 32 hp twin-three cylinder D.A.C. touring car was shown at the Detroit Automobile Show in February 1922 and later that year a D.A.C. sedan model was displayed in New York and Chicago.

A manufacturing plant in Detroit was not found until October 1922 and full production did not commence until the company moved to Wayne early in 1923. But, production did not last long and it was all over for the D.A.C. later in 1923.

Total production of the D.A.C. was about 176 cars.

Emblem

The D.A.C. carried a large round radiator emblem, see original 1922 photo shown below:
