Eureka [5] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Eureka Motor Buggy Company was established in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1907 and operated until 1909. The company specialized in the production of high-wheel buggies, which were notable for their innovative engineering features. The vehicles were powered by a 10/12 horsepower two-cylinder engine, which was integrated with a conventional sliding gearbox. Unlike many of its contemporaries that utilized friction transmission and belt, chain, or rope drive systems, Eureka employed a shaft drive for final power delivery.

During its initial years from 1907 to 1908, the company offered a single body style, a two-seater runabout, but provided customers with four different wheelbase options. In 1909, the company underwent a rebranding to become the Eureka Motor Car Manufacturing Company and relocated to a new factory. Under the leadership of Charles Zimmerman, the company streamlined its offerings to a single wheelbase but expanded its range to include five different body styles, one of which was a delivery van. It is important to note that Charles Zimmerman had no affiliation with the Zimmerman family from Auburn, Indiana, who were also involved in the production of high-wheel vehicles.
