An advertisement for the 1910 Regal, built by The Regal Motor Car Co. for Alberta's Western Canada Motor Car Co. Ltd. |
A branch of the Detroit parent firm, the Regal Motor Car Co. of Canada moved into Walkerville in 1910, under the guidance of Canadian Fred W. Haines. The Canadian arm of the company produced the Regal '30', a 2,000 lbs., four-cylinder touring car built identical to the US model. Late that summer the Regal '30' was driven 5,000 miles visiting county fairs between Halifax and Winnipeg in order to stir up business. It was met with little success and the company folded soon thereafter. A second Canadian Regal appeared in Kitchener in 1915, headed by American Henry Nyberg. This company faired much better than the first. |
