Abbott-Detroit

The Abbott-Detroit was an American luxury automobile manufactured between 1909 and 1919. It was considered powerful and well-designed, and had a Continental engine. The cars were guaranteed for life by 1913, when electric lighting and starting had been standardized.

By 1916, production of these cars had reached 15 to 20 units a day, so the company moved from Detroit to a larger facility in Cleveland. This proved too stressful on the company's finances, and they declared bankruptcy in April 1918.

Models that Abbott-Detroit offered included:

*34/445 hp (25/30 kW) Foredoor Roadster
*Limousine (1913 model)
*44/40 hp (33/37 kW) Battleship Roadster
*34 hp (25 kW) Model F
*31 hp (24 kW) Model L
*22 hp (20 kW) Model K

Prices ranged from $1700 for the Foredoor to $3050 for the Limousine.
