Bour-Davis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bour-Davis was an American automobile manufactured from 1915 until 1922. Production of the Bour-Davis was originally in Detroit, Michigan. The car used six-cylinder Continental engines. In 1917, this company failed, but production was re-established in Shreveport, Louisiana, and they were advertised as being made there as late as 1920,[1] when they offered offered five- and seven-passenger tourers and a two-seat roadster.[2]
In 1918, the Shadburne Brothers Company in Frankfort, Indiana was producing the cars.[3] In 1922, the company began selling cars under the Ponder name, but production ended soon thereafter.
