The Gas-au-lec was an American automobile manufactured by Corwin Manufacturing Company of Peabody, Massachusetts.
During 1905 and 1906, Corwin produced this five-seat side-entrance tourer[1] with a copper-jacketed four-cylinder four-cycle gasoline engine of 40-45 hp (30-34 kW).[2] The company's ads claimed it lacked a starting crank, "change speed gears", clutch, cams, valve gear, tappets, and complications,[1] thanks to electromagnetically operated inlet valves. Only about four were made.[2]
