Centaur [4] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Centaur Motor Corporation was an American automobile manufacturer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that operated from approximately 1980 to 1985. The company specialized in producing large neoclassic cars, distinguishing itself from other manufacturers with similar names, such as the California-based Centaur that produced a Lotus 7-type vehicle.

The flagship model of Centaur Motor Corp. was characterized by its resemblance to the Mercedes-Benz 500K, featuring a distinctive beak-like grille. The vehicle was constructed with a fiberglass body that housed a General Motors drivetrain and suspension, combining modern engineering with classic styling.

Centaur vehicles were equipped with a range of luxury features, including air conditioning, cruise control, a solid wood dashboard, leather interiors, a rumble seat, and a full stereo system. In 1985, the price for a turnkey Centaur car was set at $44,900, reflecting its positioning in the luxury automobile market during its brief production run.
