Take a small reminder of American automotive history along on your travels with this Ardsley Motor Car Company passport cover. The company produced its Ardsley automobile in Yonkers for only two years, with the Model A arriving in 1905 and the Model B in 1906. Those brief production dates give the marque a focused place in the story of early motoring. For travelers who collect automotive history or appreciate lesser-known American companies, the Ardsley name offers a distinctive connection to the past.
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.
