The Marvel was an automobile built at 284–290 Rivard Street,[1] Detroit, Michigan, United States, by the Marvel Motor Car Company in 1907.[2]

Marvel Motor Car Company purchased the Paragon factory and began building their own runabout. The Marvel was a two-seat runabout with a horizontal two-cylinder 14-hp engine, a planetary transmission and single chain drive. Price was set at $800, (equivalent to $26,160 in 2023).[2]

The company lost its factory space and ended production. The car became the Crescent in 1908.
