The Haynes Automobile Company was a United States automobile manufacturing company which produced automobiles in Kokomo, Indiana from 1905 to 1924. The company was related to the Haynes-Apperson company which produced automobiles from 1896-1905. Co-founder Elwood Haynes changed the name of the company after fellow co-founders Elmer and Edgar Apperson left to form the Apperson automobile company. In 1923, just before going out of business, Haynes introduced the 57, with a 121 in (3073 mm) wheelbase, in five-seat four-door sedan, three-seat coupelet, and two-seat roadster,[1] advertised as complete with front and rear bumpers, six disc (as opposed to wire) wheels, wind wings, sun visors, "artistically fashioned individual steps"[2] (for the running boards), and "individual fenders".[3]
