Duryea Motor Company was officially established on September 21st, 1894, and thereby became the first American company to produce gasoline-powered automobiles.
Brothers Charles and Frank Duryea invented and built the very first automobile in the U.S. two years earlier.
The original Duryea cars featured a horizontal engine with low-tension ignition, as well as a three-speed transmission with belt final drive. Three- and four-wheelers were created.
Duryea Motor Company ran out of business in 1917.
