Fremont Motors Corporation was an automobile manufacturer based in Fremont, Ohio, that operated from 1920 to 1922. The company produced assembled cars that were notable for their distinctive design features, including horizontal bonnet louvres, cycle-type wings, and step plates in place of traditional running boards.
The vehicles were powered by a 3205cc six-cylinder Falls engine, which contributed to their performance. Fremont Motors also included a truck in its production lineup, although the primary focus was on passenger cars. Initially, the company aimed to export its vehicles, but production numbers were limited, resulting in very few cars being built during its brief existence.
Fred M. Guy served as the sales manager for Fremont Motors and was recognized for his engineering contributions, having designed the disc valve engine used in the ACE model. The manufacturing facility had previously housed several other automotive ventures, including Burford, Fremont-Mais, and Lauth-Juergens, indicating a history of automotive production in the area. Despite its short operational period, Fremont Motors contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United States.
