Mark a place in automotive history with the Ardsley Motor Car Company, a Yonkers, New York, maker whose production lasted from 1905 to 1906. Its two named cars, the Model A and Model B, reflect a brief period when American automobile companies were establishing their identities. The Model B was promoted as “quiet and powerful,” a phrase that remains part of the surviving story of the marque. This ornament offers a thoughtful keepsake for classic car enthusiasts and collectors interested in the lesser-known names of early motoring.
The Ardsley Motor Car Company manufactured the Ardsley automobile in Yonkers, New York, from 1905 to 1906. W. S. Howard designed the car, which appeared in two production models: the 30-35 horsepower Model A in 1905 and the 35-40 horsepower Model B in 1906. The company’s salesrooms were at 50th Street and Broadway in Yonkers. By 1906, a national automobile trade magazine advertised the Ardsley as “quiet and powerful.” The Model B had a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6,470 cc and a three-gear transmission. Its listed output was 35 horsepower at 900 RPM and 40 horsepower at 1,500 RPM, accounting for the 35-40 horsepower designation. The car could seat five, had a 2,540 mm wheelbase, weighed 1,021 kg, and was priced at US$3,500. The available source records no merger, successor company, or later brand transition. The Ardsley was a short-lived American automobile, with production documented only for 1905 and 1906.
