Baden was an automobile manufacturer based in Baden, Missouri, operating from 1916 to 1919. The company produced vehicles in a suburb of St. Louis, focusing on custom orders rather than mass production. Baden cars were equipped with 4-cylinder engines sourced from a local foundry.
Despite the bespoke nature of their production, the vehicles were reported to have quality issues and reliability concerns. There were accounts of significant mechanical failures, including one instance where a single car broke four crankshafts within a year. Overall, it is estimated that between 30 and 50 units of Baden automobiles were sold during the company's brief existence.
