The Detroit Air Cooled Car (shortened to D.A.C) debuted at the Detroit Auto show in early 1922. The firm was led by W.J. Doughty, a man who had been an automotive dealer for 18 years; and G.R.Tremolda, the man who designed the car, and had spent time designing vehicles in Europe before being with D.A.C.

The company would be headquartered at 3745 Cass Avenue in Detroit Michigan. In an effort to grow the company's dealer base, it was reported that "orders from dealers for thousands of cars [are] already on hand." In August 1922 it was being reported that production was close to starting. Initial plans were for producing 10,000 cars a year. Approximately 25 cars were built in the Detroit factory on Cass Avenue.

By late 1922 plans had shifted and the former Harron Motor Company factory in Wayne Michigan had been bought. Production plans had been pushed back and the company now expected to start production in December of that year. Once production began the company hoped to build 50 cars a day. And the company boasted dealers and distributors in over 40 cities.

In early 1923 an additional 10 acres of land would be purchased in Wayne Michigan for another factory. The main offices were moved from Detroit to Wayne around this time as well. In July of the same year the company would issue $1,200,000 worth of stock to fund expansion. But given the fact that the company would be out of business within the year, this issue was likely for survival. The company would not make it to 1924, and around 100 cars were made.
