Ellsworth (United States) - AllCarIndex

Ellsworth was an early 20th-century automobile manufacturer based in New York City, founded in 1907 by John Mager Ellsworth. The company specialized in producing a limited number of high-end vehicles, characterized by their large size and expensive price tag.

The flagship model featured a 40-horsepower, four-cylinder T-head engine, offering customers the option of either shaft or chain drive. Notably, the vehicle incorporated a parent clutch designed by Thomas Fay, who had previously worked with the automotive firm Smith & Mabley. The price of these vehicles was set at $5,000, reflecting their luxury status at the time.

However, the partners of Ellsworth soon shifted their focus away from automobile production, opting instead to concentrate on the manufacture of chrome nickel-steel parts, marking a significant change in the company's direction.
