The Belmont Motor Vehicle Company was established in 1909 in Castleton-on-Hudson, New York. The company underwent a name change in 1910 to Belmont Automobile Company and relocated to New Haven, Connecticut. During its brief existence, the Belmont produced a conventional automobile powered by a 30-horsepower four-cylinder engine, featuring a shaft drive system.
The Belmont was available in two configurations: a four-seater tonneau and a five-seater tourer, both priced at $1,650. Despite the initial ambitions of the company, production numbers remained low, and very few vehicles were manufactured. One of the notable backers of the Belmont was Dr. C. Baxter Tiley, who was also involved in the production of the Tiley automobile in Essex, Connecticut.
