Frontmobile (United States)

Frontmobile was an automobile brand that operated briefly from 1917 to 1918, under the Safety Motor Company based in Greenloch, New Jersey. The brand was notable for producing the Frontmobile, which was designed by C.H. Blomstrom, an engineer known for his innovative automotive designs.

The Frontmobile was characterized as a front-wheel drive vehicle, powered by a 26-horsepower four-cylinder Le Roi engine. Its design featured gears mounted on the differential housing and a worm final drive. The gear lever was uniquely positioned to pass through the dashboard, located to the right of the steering column. The vehicle's frame was engineered to drop immediately behind the engine, contributing to a low center of gravity, while the suspension utilized transverse springs.

Two models were offered: a roadster priced at $1,000 and a tourer at $1,200. However, production was limited, with estimates suggesting that only five units of the Frontmobile were manufactured, of which only one is known to have survived. This surviving model is equipped with a G.B. & S. engine. Following the Frontmobile's brief production run, Blomstrom established Camden Motors Corporation in Camden, New Jersey, with intentions to produce a similar vehicle, although it is believed that no cars were completed under this new venture.
