Ferris was an automobile brand produced by the Ohio Motor Vehicle Company, based in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1920 to 1922. The brand gained recognition for its well-designed vehicles, which, while assembled from standard components, featured distinctive coachwork that set them apart from many competitors of the era.
The Ferris cars were powered by a Continental 9N six-cylinder engine and were built on a wheelbase of 130 inches (3300 mm). Standard features included disc wheels with matching side-mounted spare tires. In its initial years, Ferris offered three models in 1920 and 1921, with prices ranging from $3,350 to $4,375. By 1922, the lineup expanded to six models, with prices starting at $2,595 for a six-seater touring car and reaching $3,895 for a four-seater sport sedan.
The final models produced by Ferris, known as the Model 70 series, were introduced in mid-1922 and featured the newer Continental 6T engine. The prices for these models ranged from $2,795 for the six-seater touring car to $4,100 for the sport sedan. Although exact production figures remain unknown, estimates suggest that between 500 and 750 units were manufactured during the brand's brief existence.
