St. Louis Motor Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Louis Motor Carriage Company was a manufacturer of automobiles in St. Louis, Missouri between 1899 and 1907. They moved to Peoria, Illinois in 1905.

The 1904 St. Louis line included runabout and touring car models. Both could be equipped with a tonneau, with seating for up to 5 passengers. The runabout sold for US$1200 and used a 9 hp (6.7 kW) engine. The touring car was priced at US$1500. It used a flat-mounted water-cooled single-cylinder engine, situated amidships of the car, producing 10 hp (7.5 kW). A 2-speed transmission was fitted, and the angle iron-framed car weighed 1650 lb (748 kg).
