Howard Case & Co. was an early automobile manufacturer based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, operating from 1906 to 1909. The company was notable for producing the first car commercially built on the Canadian Prairies. The vehicle was designed by Howard A. Case and featured a 20/24 horsepower air-cooled four-cylinder engine, which was paired with a friction transmission and chain final drive.
The specifications of the car included Fawkes airless tires, which were likely solid tires, a design choice that was considered somewhat outdated for passenger vehicles by the time of its production in 1906. The cars were sold at a price of CDN $2,000, and only a limited number were manufactured during the company's brief existence. It is important to note that Howard Case & Co. had no affiliation with the more prominent American Case company.
