Louis Chevrolet
Also in 1916, American Motors Corporation (unrelated to the later American Motors created by the 1954 merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company) was formed in Newark, New Jersey, with Louis Chevrolet as vice president and chief engineer. By 1918 it was producing cars in a plant at Plainfield, New Jersey. In 1923 it merged with the Bessemer Motor Truck Company of Pennsylvania into Bessemer-American Motors Corporation, which lasted less than a year before merging with the Winther and Northway companies into Amalgamated Motors. The latter company apparently ceased soon after.
Wonder Motor Car Company
The Wonder Motor Car Company was a very short lived car company in 1909 that was derived from the Kansas City Motor Car Company as a last ditch effort to stay in business and continue car production. The Kansas City Motor Car Company which made cars and trucks from 1905 to 1909 was itself derived from the Caps Brothers Manufacturing Company that briefly made cars in 1905. No examples of any Caps Brothers, Kansas City, or Wonder cars or trucks are known to exist today.
