History of the Automobile in St. Louis | Living St. Louis

Before the depression, St. Louis had a number of auto manufacturers, some big and some small, some successes and some failures. Companies producing cars in St. Louis besides the "big three" car makers were Gardner Motor Company, Moon Motor Car Company, Dorris Motor Company, and the St. Louis Motor Carriage Company.

Interesting to learn about the automobile history in St Louis. Didn't know they made some Model T's there. Wish they were still priced that way. low.

It sure is hard to find a St. Louisan who doesn't have a family member that worked for GM, Ford or Chrysler. It is amazing to think there is no auto manufacturing presence (unless you count Wentzville) in STL.

According to 1950 census my Father work for an auto manufacturer. But i have no idea who he worked for. He did buy a brand new 1950 fast back Pontiac....so maybe he worked at a Pontiac factory???
