Geronimo (United States) - AllCarIndex

Geronimo Motor Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Enid, Oklahoma, that operated from 1917 to 1920. The company was named after the renowned Apache chief and initially produced a four-cylinder touring car powered by a Lycoming engine. The vehicles were exclusively open models and were characterized as assembled products, utilizing components sourced from various specialized manufacturers.

In 1918, Geronimo Motor Company transitioned from its four-cylinder engine to a six-cylinder engine, which became the standard for the remaining years of production. The company faced challenges during World War I, particularly due to material shortages, which limited its production capabilities. In addition to passenger cars, Geronimo expanded its offerings to include a truck model in 1918.

The company found some success in the export market, shipping approximately 100 cars to France under the 'WING' badge. Overall, Geronimo produced a total of 143 units during its brief existence. However, a devastating fire in August 1920 caused significant financial losses amounting to $250,000, ultimately leading to the company's closure.
