Goodyear was an automobile brand established in 1924 by American Auto Agency Ltd in Manchester, United Kingdom. The brand primarily produced vehicles that were modifications of the Ford Model T, tailored to meet the preferences of British consumers.
The Goodyear vehicles featured a lengthened and lowered frame, along with a restyled body that transformed them into two-seater sports cars. While the engine, transmission, and axles were derived directly from the Ford Model T, the modifications allowed for a tuned engine that achieved a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
The Goodyear brand, alongside others such as Aeroford and Alberford, represented an early attempt to adapt American automotive designs for the British market, reflecting the growing interest in sports cars during that era.
