Brownell Car Company
Brownell Car Company was a horsecar and streetcar builder in St. Louis, Missouri.
Originally founded as Brownell and Wight Car Company by Frederick Brownell and Andrew Wight in 1875 as a horsecar builder, the company was renamed in 1879.
It later produced electric cars after horsecar service was abandoned by many cities. The company was bought by either American Car Company or J. G. Brill and Company in 1902.
