The Clark Motor Car Company was established in Shelbyville, Indiana, and operated from 1910 to 1912. The company produced conventional automobiles featuring four-cylinder engines, which were available in both touring and roadster configurations. During its brief existence, the engines were rated at 30 horsepower and 40 horsepower in the years 1910 and 1911, and later as 10/40 horsepower in 1912. The engines were supplied by Rutenber.
In June 1912, the Clark Motor Car Company faced bankruptcy and underwent reorganization. Shortly thereafter, it was acquired by Maurice Wolfe, who had previously manufactured vehicles under the Wolfe and Wilcox brands in Minneapolis. Wolfe assembled a limited number of Clark vehicles from existing parts before relocating his operations to Piqua, Ohio, where he subsequently produced a different model known as the Meteor.
