Birmingham Motors was a
United
States
based automobile
company. Organized in 1920, it was tentatively in business
only from 1921 through 1923.
The Birmingham offered a number of unusual features, including a
type of
swing axle suspension and
exterior finishes of
Dupont Fabrikoid instead
of paint.
Failure to generate capital for factory investment hobbled
Birmingham.
A political scandal involving the mayor of
Jamestown, New
York
who was the company's titular President resulted in
Birmingham Motors going out of business. Only about 50
Birmingham autos were built; none are known to have survived to the
21st century.
