Manufacturer

From 1909 to 1915 the Abbott Motor Car Company from Detroit , Michigan manufactured the vehicles. In 1915 the name was changed to Consolidated Car Company . From 1917 to 1918, The Abbott Corporation of Cleveland , Ohio was the manufacturer.

vehicles

The luxury automobiles were considered to be powerful and well designed and were equipped with a Continental engine. From 1913 electrical lighting and an electrical starter were standard.

By 1916, production had reached 15-20 cars a day, so the company had to move from Detroit to larger premises in Cleveland, Ohio . This move put too much strain on Abbott's finances, so they went bankrupt in April 1918.
