Amalgamated Steam Car (United States) - AllCarIndex

The Amalgamated Steam Car was an early 20th-century automobile brand that emerged in the United States, specifically founded in 1919 by the Amalgamated Machinery Corporation based in Chicago, Illinois. This brand was part of a broader movement to rekindle interest in steam-powered vehicles following the conclusion of World War I.

Despite the innovative aspirations behind the Amalgamated Steam Car, the project faced significant challenges. The company developed a prototype, but unfortunately, it failed shortly after its completion during the testing phase. This failure marked the end of the Amalgamated Steam Car's brief existence in the automotive industry, reflecting the difficulties faced by steam car manufacturers during a time when internal combustion engines were becoming increasingly dominant.
