King Midget

King Midget was a type of car produced between 1946 and 1970 by the Midget Motors Corporation. Claud Dry and Dale Orcutt first sold the King Midget as part of their Midget Motors Supply operations in Athens, Ohio. By 1948, they began to use the name Midget Motors Manufacturing Co., too. In about 1956, Dry and Orcutt changed the name of their company to Midget Motors Corporation.

The King Midget was a very small car and it used an automatic transmission of their own design. It drove only one rear wheel, eliminating the need for a differential. Dry and Orcutt designed the midget while working as civil air patrol pilots during World War II. The car used many aircraft techniques to make it lighter.

Originally the King Midget was a single passenger kit car in which any single cylinder engine could be installed. The car was sold in kit form containing an assembly book, the frame, axles, springs, steering mechanism, and dimensioned patterns for the sheet metal. In the late 1940s through 1951 the Model 1 was also available in assembled form powered by a 6 hp (4.5 kW) Wisconsin engine.
