The Detroit-Dearborn Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer in Dearborn, Michigan from 1909 to 1910.
The company's first car was completed in January 1910. It produced two models: the Minerva, a touring torpedo, and the Nike, a roadster.[1] After producing only 110 cars, the company went bankrupt later in 1910 as it had only $50,000 in capital.[2]
