Haynes Automobile Company , emerged from the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company , was an early American automobile manufacturer.

Company history

Elwood P. Haynes bought an engine in 1893. He turned to the Riverside Machine Shop of the brothers Elmer and Edgar Apperson to build an automobile with it. On July 4, 1894, it was ready for the first test drive. More unique pieces followed. These were called Haynes .

In May 1898, the partners founded the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company in Kokomo , Indiana . Series production began. The brand name was Haynes-Apperson .

In 1901 the partners separated, whereupon the Appersons founded the Apperson Brothers Automobile Company in 1902 . Elwood Haynes stayed with the company. He kept the brand name until June 1904 before changing it to Haynes .

It was not until September 1905 that the company's name was changed to Haynes Automobile Company .

Business was bad in the 1920s. In 1923 there were rumors of a merger between Haynes, Winton and Dorris , but it did not go through. The bankruptcy began in September 1924 . In January 1925 it was decided to only assemble existing parts. That year the company was dissolved.

Elwood Haynes died of pneumonia in April 1925.

Models

The first vehicle in 1894 had a single cylinder - two-stroke engine of the Sintz Gas Engine Company 1 hp power.

The second vehicle was the Haynes Pioneer . It had a Sintz engine that was twice as powerful.

Between 1898 and 1901 there was the 7/8 HP with a two-cylinder engine . The open superstructures offered space for two, four or six people.

From 1902 to 1903 there was a weaker two-cylinder model with 8 hp as a runabout and a more powerful two-cylinder model with 12 hp as the Phaeton and Surrey .

In 1904 there were two models in the range. The two-cylinder model developed 12 hp, had a 193 cm wheelbase and was bodied as a two-seater touring car. A larger model had a four-cylinder engine . The chassis had a wheelbase of 236 cm. The touring cars offered space for four people.

From 1906 there were only four-cylinder engines. The first six-cylinder engine was introduced in the 23 model in 1913. From the end of 1913, Vulcan electric preselection gearboxes were available for all models . In 1914 the last four-cylinder model, the 28 , was produced and from 1916 there was a V12 engine with 5986 cm³ displacement and initially 60 bhp (44 kW) in the 40 and 41 models . This Light Twelve was on offer until 1922 ; a total of only 650 pieces were built.

In 1923, shortly before the company closed, Haynes introduced the 57 , which was available with a 3073 mm wheelbase as a four-door sedan with five seats, a three-seat coupé and a two-seat roadster . The cars were fully equipped with front and rear bumpers, disc wheels, "wind wings", sun visors, "artistically designed steps" (running boards) and "special fenders". Vehicles with six-cylinder engines were still available until September 1924; the last Model 60 produced cost only US $ 1,295 . In January 1925, another 200 limousines were made from leftover parts.
