Brand Data

Company Name: Church Motor Car Co.

Place: Chicago, Illinois

Country: United States

Church Motor Company was an automobile manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois. The company was known for its unconventional approach to car design, claiming to produce vehicles without many components that were typically considered essential by other manufacturers. This included the absence of a gearbox, clutch, carburettor, gear lever, timing gears, sleeves, and inlet and exhaust valves.

Instead, Church Motor Company introduced the Church Pneumatic System, which was intended to replace these traditional components. The details of this system were explained in literature that the company offered upon request, although it appears that they did not provide this information to the press.

The company set a price of $2,500 for a large tourer model built on a 132-inch (3353 mm) wheelbase. While at least one photograph of the vehicle was published, it remains unclear whether the car depicted adhered to the unique specifications that the company advertised.
