Make room for notes, plans, or sketches inspired by an enterprising chapter of Detroit history. Aerocar Motor Company was founded in late 1905 and began production in February 1906 with a high-end touring car. Its short run included evolving models and a change from air-cooled beginnings to water-cooled offerings, reflecting the experimentation of the Brass Era. After Aerocar's 1907 bankruptcy, its factory later became a production site for Hudson. This notebook is a fitting everyday companion for automotive enthusiasts, researchers, and collectors drawn to early industry stories.
Founded in late 1905 in Detroit, Michigan, Aerocar Motor Company was financed by entrepreneur and coal merchant Alexander Malcomson, an early financial backer of Ford Motor Company. Malcomson favored profitable, higher-priced cars, while Henry Ford pursued the lower-priced market. Aerocar took its name from its air-cooled engine and built a factory at Mack Avenue and Beaufait Street. Production began in February 1906 with the Model A, a high-end five-seat touring car powered by a four-cylinder Reeves engine. The company later offered Model D and roadster cars, as well as larger water-cooled touring models; near the end, it introduced a Model F with a Rutenber engine. High fixed costs and weak demand led Aerocar to file for bankruptcy in August 1907, and liquidation sales followed that autumn. Approximately 300 cars were built, and the remaining vehicles were sold in 1908. The former factory was leased to Hudson Motor Car Company in April 1909. Hudson expanded production there before moving to a larger facility, and the original building was reported to remain in reasonable condition in 2012.
