Crusty Trucker Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Hundreds of manufacturers operated in the United States after the turn of the 20th century and most are as unknown as if they had never existed a century later. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/research/lost-world-americas-long-forgotten-automakers/ss-AA1420zX?ocid=mailsignout&li=BBnbfcL#image=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Hundreds ? Thousands ! The Standard Catalog { B.R. Kimes, Henry Austin Clark } is a good place to start.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think the book CT Created cars, compiled about 15 years ago by Paul Pellerin, lists about 150, by town, then marque. Some info is really sparse but still intetesting reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Last time I looked at that information, it seemed like there were over 250 individuals that made more than one car. Only the manufacturers, those that made most of the parts including the powertrain, engine, transmission, rear axle survived for some time. The rest who were assemblers of purchased parts could not compete on price or quality and went out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
