    Update from one of our visitors who owns a Gray Motor Corporation car who took the time to send some more informatio


    They produced 77,000 cars between 1922 and 1926.


    You should also add the biggest selling point the Gray Motor Corporation had: it had set the international economy record in a 1922 Touring Car driving in a AAA certified test running from San Francisco to New York - that record was 33.8 miles per gallon. I have documentation showing this if you are interested. This Touring Car model cost $490 in 1923. As one of the few owners of one of these great little cars, I try to help keep the record straight.

  • 20s Horse Buggies Horse Drawn Auto Seat Top Buggy

    I have included this example because it shows how traditional horse drawn carriage manufacturers were trying to survive, one of the most interesting selling points for this carriage was that the wheel base size was the same as most of the smaller autos of the day 4ft 8 inches, and if you look the sitting position and layout was very similar although higher off the ground.
