Albatross (United States) - AllCarIndex

Albatross Motor Car Company was established in 1939 in New York City, New York. The brand was conceived by Peter Arno, a New Yorker cartoonist known for his work in The New Yorker magazine. The Albatross featured a distinctive, rakish four-seater convertible body, which was constructed by J.S. Inskip, a distributor of Rolls-Royce in New York City. The vehicle was mounted on a Mercury chassis, which the company advertised as being re-engineered and significantly accelerated.

Peter Arno initially intended to market the Albatross commercially and had plans for additional models, including a town car and a two-passenger speedster, alongside the four to five-seater convertible that he personally used. However, despite these ambitions, the plans to market the Albatross on New York City's Automobile Row ultimately did not materialize, leading to the brand's limited commercial impact.
