Company history

CP Munch and RM Allen founded the Munch-Allen Motor Car Company in 1909 . The seat was in DuBois , Pennsylvania . They planned to produce automobiles, but initially didn't have a factory. Howard Motor Works made the first 30 vehicles for them. The brand name was Keystone . Then production took place in our own factory in DuBois.

The partners split up. Munch went on alone, trading as the Munch Motor Car Company from 1910 and relocating the headquarters to Yonkers in the US state of New York . Production ended in the same year.

There were no affiliations with any of the other US manufacturers of Keystone brand cars : Keystone Match & Machine Company , Keystone Motor Company, and H. Cook & Brothers .

All vehicles had a six-cylinder engine . In the Six-Sixty of 1909, the engine developed 60 hp . The chassis had a wheelbase of 310 cm . There was a choice of a roadster with two seats, a baby tonneau with four seats and a touring car with five seats.
