Argonne (United States) - AllCarIndex

Argonne Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Jersey City, New Jersey, that operated briefly from 1919 to 1920. The company produced assembled cars, initially powered by a 3710cc four-cylinder Buda engine. The vehicles were notable for their striking design, which featured disc wheels and a pointed radiator reminiscent of the prewar Austro-Daimler.

During its short production run, Argonne offered both tourer and roadster models, with the roadster becoming the more recognizable variant. In 1920, the company upgraded to a more powerful 4950cc Rochester-Duesenberg engine, but by this time, only the roadster model was available. Unfortunately, Argonne Motor Car Company went into receivership in July 1920, having produced no more than 24 cars.

After the company's closure, parts were acquired by a garment manufacturer who managed to assemble approximately ten additional Argonne vehicles in a garage located in the Bronx. These later models differed from their predecessors, as they were all equipped with closed bodies.
