American Car Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American Car Company was founded in 1891 by William Sutton and Emil Alexander, who previously founded Laclede Car Company and worked at Brownell Car Company in St. Louis, Missouri.
The company was an electric streetcar builder that was bought out by J. G. Brill Company in 1902. However, Brill continued to operate American Car Co. under its own name until 1931. More Birney trolleys were built by American Car Co. than any other manufacturer. Fort Collins Municipal Railway and Fort Smith Trolley Museum are examples of operations still running these cars today.
