Bring a small piece of Indiana automobile history to a gathering with this Rider-Lewis can cooler. The company began production in Muncie after unveiling its automobile at the Indianapolis Motor Show in 1908, then moved to Anderson in 1909. Its short-lived lineup included a six-cylinder car and the more affordable Model Four. A fitting choice for cookouts, garage gatherings, and enthusiasts who enjoy discovering the stories behind early regional carmakers.
Rider-Lewis automobiles were built in Indiana from 1908 to 1911. Ralph Lewis of Boston designed a six-cylinder engine with overhead valves and an overhead cam, rated at 40/45 horsepower. George D. Rider financed manufacturing, and the Rider-Lewis Motor Car Company was established to produce the cars. The company introduced its automobile at the Indianapolis Motor Show in March 1908, priced at $2,500. Production began in a converted factory in Muncie. In 1909, operations moved to a newly built factory in Anderson. For 1910, the six-cylinder Excellent Six was joined by the four-cylinder Model Four, offered at $1,050. The company entered receivership in September 1910, but production continued. The following month, a court order attached its Anderson property after creditors believed the company was preparing to move out of state. A few more Model Fours were built into early 1911. By March, the Rider-Lewis plant had been sold to Nyberg Motor Works, marking the end of the company's automobile production.
