I am trying to dig up some information on the Moore Motor Vehicle company that was in Minnesota and later in Illinois. I was wondering if anyone had any information on it or even any pictures of the car they produced, I heard that there were only about 1,000 made. If any has any information I would much appreciate it.

I have some info on the Moore if you're still looking. I was produced in Tilton, Il at the former Danville Car Works 1917 - 1920.

The site later became General Motors' Central Foundry, later Powertrain plant through mid 90s

You can contact Librarian Kim Miller at kmiller@aacalibary.org or call 717-534-2082 to see about getting copies or to see if the Library might have any other literature on the Moore automobile.

Hope this helps.

Bruce,

Thanks for the info on the library. I wasn't aware of it at all.
