Carter (United States) - AllCarIndex

Carter was an early American automobile brand established in 1901 by the Michigan Automobile Company, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The brand was notable for producing a light steam-powered vehicle that featured an automatic burner system.

The Carter automobile was priced at $1,000, which positioned it within the market as a premium offering for its time. The design of the vehicle was the work of Byron J. Carter, who later went on to develop the CARTERCAR, further contributing to the automotive landscape of the early 20th century.

Although the Carter brand did not achieve long-term success, it represented an innovative approach to steam-powered vehicles during a period when the automotive industry was rapidly evolving.
