Beggs Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Kansas City, Missouri, that operated from 1919 to 1923. The company initially specialized in creating elaborately hand-carved bodies for circus wagons and carousel merry-go-rounds before transitioning into the automobile industry.
The Beggs vehicles were typical of the assembled cars of their era, utilizing Continental 7R and 8R engines. During its early production years, the company focused primarily on open models, with the majority of its offerings being touring cars. In 1921, the company expanded its lineup to include a coupe and a sedan, although these models remained secondary to the touring cars. The pricing for these touring cars started at $1,175 in 1920 and increased to $1,495 by 1923, which marked the company's final year of operation.
Throughout its brief existence, Beggs Motor Car Company produced an estimated total of 200 to 250 vehicles, reflecting a modest output in the competitive automotive market of the early 20th century.
