Gurley was an American automobile manufacturer based in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, that operated briefly from 1900 to 1901. The company was founded by Tom Gurley, who had a background as a jeweler and bookseller, and also engaged in the repair and sale of bicycles. This experience in the bicycle industry led him to venture into car manufacturing.
The company produced a two-seater buggy that featured a single-cylinder engine, a tubular reach frame, bicycle wheels, and tiller steering. Initially, Gurley aimed to sell the vehicle at a price of $600; however, he ultimately had to increase the price to $1,000. This price adjustment contributed to the limited production of the vehicle, resulting in very few units being manufactured before the company ceased operations.
