Continental was an American automobile brand that operated from 1910 to 1914, based in Franklin, Indiana. The company was established by the Indiana Motor & Manufacturing Company and produced conventional cars equipped with four-cylinder engines, offering power outputs of 35 and 40 horsepower. The models were available in various body styles, including torpedo, runabout, and tourer, although closed models were never part of the lineup.

Despite featuring high-quality appointments such as machine-buffed leather upholstery and mahogany dashboards, Continental struggled financially due to severe undercapitalization. In 1912, the company underwent a reorganization led by Frank N. Manindale and Frank M. Millikan. In 1914, the vehicles were marketed under the name Manindale & Millikan, marking the final season of production for the brand. Ultimately, Continental ceased operations shortly thereafter, concluding its brief presence in the automotive industry.
