	'''~~Use the following MAKE TEMPLATE as the foundation for your Wikicars' [[List of Manufacturers\|Automobile Make]] page:~~'''		'''McFarlan''' is an American automobile manufactured in Connersville, Indiana from 1909 to 1928 as an outgrowth of the McFarlan Carriage Company founded in 1853 by English-born John B. McFarlan (1822-1909).

	~~Start off with a brief~~ ''~~Introduction'' to~~ the ~~company~~. ~~This would be~~ a ~~good place to create a table~~ of ~~company statistics~~ and ~~share any other relevant tidbits~~ of ~~information~~ and ~~factoids about~~ the company.		J. B. McFarlan's grandson, Alfred Harry McFarlan (1881-1937) conceived the idea for the McFarlan motor car and ran the McFarlan Motor Corporation throughout its nineteen years. The first model year was 1910 and two of the company's cars were enterend in events at the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]] that year. McFarlans driven by [[Mel Marquette]] were also entered in first two [[Indianapolis 500]] races (1911 and 1912) in which they finished 25th and 19th, respectively. The McFarlan was a luxury automobile owned by celebrities of the day such as Fatty Arbuckle, Paul Whiteman and Jack Dempsey. Enormous models of the 1920s gave the company the reputation as being the "American [[Rolls-Royce\|Rolls Royce]]." 1928 was the final model year and the company went into bankruptcy that year.

	~~==History==~~		In 1967, a book, ''What Was the McFarlan?'' was privately published in a limited edition of 1000 and is the definitive history of the McFarlan Motor Corporation. Authors Keith Marvin and Al Arnheim were McFarlan enthusiasts and automobile historians. The book identified nineteen extant Mcfarlans.
	~~Then~~, ~~comes the~~ ''~~History~~'' ~~section~~. ~~Expand on any important events~~ and ~~company occurances in this section~~.

	~~==Future Models==~~		Today, a few McFarlans are owned in private collections and important automobile museums, including the [[Indianapolis Motor Speedway]] Hall of Fame Museum,the [[Petersen Automotive Museum]] in Los Angeles, the [[National Automobile Museum]] in Reno, Nevada and the Nethercutt Collection in California.
	~~Next~~, ~~comes~~ the ~~''Future Models'' section. In this section~~, ~~list any upcoming models or future plans for~~ the ~~company~~.

	==~~Current Models~~==		==External links==
	~~This is where the ''Current Model Line'' for the MAKE is listed~~. ~~If there were changes made to the current make line-up, mention them here~~.		*[http://www.indy500.com/stats/results.php?raceyear=1911 1911 Indianapolis 500 race results]
