History Ever heard of Anderson Motor Company?

Danny, another one of your Obsessions?! I Love these obscure cars, it's amazing how many great ones succumbed through out the years. HAMB Automotive History 101.

 

Yeah, I like that ~ Automotive History 101. HRP

 

In looking at the dealers list I didn't see a South Carolina dealer but noticed that there was one in the Island of Havana, Havana Motor Company, Havana Cuba. HRP

 

They might still have one in Cuba, but it's probably got a diesel in it!

 

You know your probably right, all old cars in Cuba are still on the road in one fashion or another. HRP

Danny does Paul still do tours at the Michelin museum in Greer?

 

I believe he has been retired for several years, He took the car club on a private tour at the Zentrum museum and then he took us through the assembly process, at that time they had just started making the BMW roadster.

He had the Anderson on loan to the museum at that time. HRP

 

I found mention of the Anderson automobile in The Complete Encyclopedia of Motorcars 1885 to the present. Present obviously being the past as it was published in 1969. It’s a pretty amazing encyclopedia it has A to Z pretty much every car ever made. There’s also mention of the Anderson and Climber car in Monstrous American Car Spotters Guide 1920- 1980.

 

Thanks for posting the photo's. HRP

I suspect the subject mater just didn't appeal to any of the readers in Indiana. HRP

 

BTW, the book was $5.99 on e-bay with free shipping and it just so happened Brenda had a 5 dollar credit so the book cost .99 cents, that's what I call a bargain. HRP
