Correja (United States) - AllCarIndex

Correja was an American automobile brand that operated from 1909 to 1914, founded by Vandewater & Co. in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The company produced a range of conventional vehicles, initially offering 4- and 7-seater models powered by 4-cylinder engines with outputs of 30 and 50 horsepower.

In 1911, Correja introduced a 35-horsepower runabout, which marked a significant development in their lineup. Following this, the company expanded its offerings to include a broader range of vehicles, featuring 35-horsepower 4-cylinder and 60-horsepower 6-cylinder models. The final model produced was a 34-horsepower six-cylinder car in 1914.

The brand experienced its peak in 1911, selling 120 cars. However, the decision to revert to a multi-model range in 1912 proved detrimental, leading to a decline in production. Ultimately, Vandewater & Co. faced financial difficulties and was declared bankrupt in February 1914, marking the end of the Correja brand.
