About Keller
The Keller was an automobile produced by the Keller Motor Corp. of Huntsville, Alabama between 1948 and 1950. It was based on the earlier Bobbi-Kar produced by the Bobbi Motor Car Corp. of San Diego, California. Keller restyled the Bobbi-Kar and switched power from a 64.9 in³ 25 hp four cylinder to Continental engines of 133 in³ 49 hp and 162 in³. Only eighteen Kellers were ever produced before the death of George D. Keller brought an end to production.
The Keller was originally fabricated primarily by laid-off aircraft technicians post-war, using readily available parts from local aircraft production facilities. Keller cars are noted for several first-run innovations such as having the engine/flywheel, transmission, clutch, and differential all built into a single unit, noted for its ease of removal and replacement.
