Campbell Motor Car Company
(Redirected from Emerson Motors Company)
The Campbell Motor Car Company was an automobile manufacturer, in business for only one year, from 1918 to 1919.
History
[edit]The Campbell Motor Car Company was originally called the Emerson Motors Company. But, in 1917, after the company was charged with stock manipulation,[1] Theodore A. Campbell and his brother George renamed the company after themselves. While the car made by the Emerson company was $395, the new Campbell, a small, 4-cylinder 22 hp car, cost $835,[1] compared to a Ford Model T Touring Car that cost $360. In May 1919, the company went into receivership. Less than 600 cars were made.[2]
