The Continental Automobile Company was established in 1908 in New Haven, Connecticut, following its predecessor, the University Automobile Company, which operated briefly from 1907 to 1908. The company focused on producing automobiles that were characterized by their robust design and offered a range of engine options, including three four-cylinder engines with outputs of 25, 30, and 35 horsepower.

Continental's lineup included several body styles, notably the Model A Runabout priced at $2,400, the Model B Tonneau at $2,700, and the Model C Touring at $3,000. The company claimed to produce the first foreign-designed car built in America at a moderate price, although specific evidence supporting this assertion was not provided. The Continental Automobile Company contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United States before ceasing operations.
