Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Wear a piece of Indianapolis automotive history with a nod to Cole Motor Car Company. Founded through the transformation of a carriage business, Cole built automobiles from 1908 through 1925 and became known for its luxury-car identity and early V-8 ambition. The company’s journey from four-cylinder models to the Aero-Eight reflects the inventiveness and uncertainty of the independent auto era. This pullover suits history-minded drivers, collectors, and admirers of American motoring heritage.

The Cole Motor Car Company was an early automobile maker based in Indianapolis, Indiana, building cars from 1908 through 1925. Joseph J. Cole first tried to develop a car in Rockford, Illinois, in 1903. In 1904 he bought the Gates-Osborne Carriage Company, renamed it the Cole Carriage Company, and began producing a high-wheeled motor buggy marketed as the Cole Solid Tire Automobile. The carriage business was reorganized as the Cole Motor Car Company in June 1909. Early models included four-cylinder cars and, from 1913, six-cylinder models. In 1915 Cole introduced its V-8-powered Model 8-50; after 1916, the company focused on V-8 cars, later marketed as the Aero-Eight. Cole declined a proposed takeover that would have made it a General Motors subsidiary. Sales fell after new production facilities opened in 1922, and Joseph Cole chose to liquidate the company. He died on August 8, 1925, before liquidation was complete. The factory produced 607 cars that year. The former Indianapolis factory building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
