La Fayette - marque/manufacturer information

List of all La Fayette cars

The LaFayette Motors Corporation was a United States based automobile manufacturer.

Founded in 1919, LaFayette Motors was named in honor of the Marquis de la Fayette, and LaFayette autos had a cameo of the Marquis as their logo.

LaFayette was originally headquartered in Mars Hill, Indianapolis, Indiana and made luxury motor cars, beginning with 1920 models. LaFayette innovations include the first electric clock in an auto. In 1921 Charles W. Nash became president of LaFayette. Nash was already president of Nash Motors, but for a time the two brands remained separate companies, although Nash Motors was the principal LaFayette Motors stock holder. In the 20's rumors circulated about Pierce-Arrow merging with LaFayette, Rolls-Royce or General Motors)

In 1922 LaFayette's facilities were moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In 1924 Nash Motors became full owner of LaFayette Motors, and the name was retired soon after. Its factories were quickly put to a new, more profitable use; the manufacture of Ajax motor cars.

In 1934 Nash re-introduced the LaFayette name, this time for a line of smaller, less expensive autos. In 1935 Nash introduced a series known as the "Nash 400" to fill the perceived price gap between the LaFayette and the Nash. By 1937 it was determined that this perceived gap wasn't so important after all, and that Nash Motors was marketing too many models. The LaFayette and the Nash 400 were combined into a single model called the Nash LaFayette 400 for 1937, and the LaFayette ceased to be regarded as a separate make of car. For 1938 this became simply the Nash LaFayette, and the LaFayette line continued as Nash's lowest-priced offering through 1940. For 1941 the LaFayette was replaced by the all-new unibody Nash 600.

Where Does Your Auto Insurance Dollar Go?

You pay your auto insurance. You have the right amount of coverage. So where does all that money go?

The exact cost you will have to pay for your insurance depends on several factors. One factor is what car you drive.

For example, the Porsche 911 tops the list as the most expensive car to insure. A person could pay $2,943.78 a year . . . and that’s with a clean driving record. The Dodge Caliber is the least expensive car to insure.

Another factor that affects your insurance is where you live. Washington DC has the most expensive insurance cost–$1,140 a year. North Dakota, on the other hand, is home of the least expensive insurance, at a cost of $512 a year.
