Add a small piece of early automotive history to your workspace with this Century Motor Vehicle Company mouse pad. The Syracuse, New York, manufacturer built electric and steam automobiles before shifting toward gasoline power in January 1903. The company closed later that year, making its brief run a compact reminder of how quickly vehicle technology was changing at the start of the twentieth century. A fitting desk accent for car buffs, history readers, and collectors interested in the first years of American motoring.
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.
