Ajax [1] (United States) - AllCarIndex

The Ajax Motor Vehicle Company was an early American automobile manufacturer based in New York City. Founded in 1901, the company operated out of a facility located on West 36th Street in Manhattan. Ajax specialized in producing light electric runabouts, which were notable for their bicycle-type wheels and innovative full-elliptic suspension system. This design included a transverse spring at the front and two conventionally placed springs at the rear, contributing to a smoother ride.

The pricing of Ajax vehicles reflected the luxury market of the time, with an initial cost of $1,100, which was later reduced to $800 in 1903. However, the company had a brief operational period, ceasing production in 1903 after just two years in the automotive industry.
