Lost Car Companies of Detroit by Alan Naldrett

Among more than 200 auto companies that tried their luck in the Motor City, just 3 remain: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. But these and many of those lost to history have colorful stories worth telling.

Author Alan Naldrett explores the stories of automakers who succeeded and those who ultimately failed but shaped the industry and designs putting wheels on the road today.

A Look Inside the Cover:

Did You Know?

J.J. Cole forgot to put brakes in his new auto, so on the first test run, he had to drive it in circles until it ran out of gas.

Did You Know?

Brothers John and Horace Dodge often trashed saloons during wild evenings but used their great personal wealth to pay for the damage the next day (if they could remember where they had been).

Did You Know?

David D. Buick went from being the founder of his own leading auto company to working the information desk at the Detroit Board of Trade.
