Bring a concise chapter of American automotive history into your everyday wardrobe with this Century Motor Vehicle Company polo shirt. Based in Syracuse, New York, the company made electric and steam automobiles during the early years of motoring before turning to gasoline-powered cars in January 1903. It closed later that year, leaving behind a distinctive story of changing technology and ambition. A thoughtful choice for car enthusiasts, history fans, and collectors drawn to the pioneers of the road.

Century Motor Vehicle Company was an early automobile manufacturer based in Syracuse, New York. Its documented operating period was 1899 to 1903, placing it among the companies that emerged during the first years of the American automobile industry. The company manufactured electric and steam automobiles, reflecting two forms of propulsion used before gasoline-powered cars became its focus. In January 1903, Century changed direction and began producing automobiles powered by gasoline-fuelled internal combustion engines. The company went out of business later in 1903, ending its short run as a vehicle maker. The available account does not describe a merger, successor, predecessor, or continuing brand. Century Motor Vehicle Company should also be distinguished from a separate British motor company named Century, which produced cars until 1907. Its history is therefore a brief but notable example of early automotive experimentation and a shift between vehicle technologies at the turn of the twentieth century.
