Benham (United States) - AllCarIndex

Benham Manufacturing Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Detroit, Michigan. Founded in January 1914 by George Benham, the company acquired the assets of the S. & M. company and produced vehicles under the Benham name. The cars were known for their aesthetic appeal and were available in several body styles, including roadster, tourer, and town car.

The Benham vehicles were powered by a 6-cylinder Continental engine, which contributed to their performance. However, the production was limited, with only 19 units manufactured before the company ceased operations. Despite its brief existence, the Benham name is remembered, as it is commemorated by a short street in Detroit, located north of East Grand Boulevard, which was the site of the company's manufacturing activities.
