The American Motor Car Company was a short-lived automotive company
founded in 1906, lasting until 1913. It was based in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The American Motor Car Company pioneered the "underslung"
design.
Facing financial problems during 1911, its name was changed to
"American Motor Company". The company went into receivership in
November, 1913. Over an eight year period, the American Motor Company had
produced over 45,000 vehicles. Like many other automakers during this era,
it was plagued by ineffective assembly processes, a tough economy, the
onset of World War I, and an evolving market place.
