Cardway (United States) - AllCarIndex

Cardway was an American automobile brand founded by Colonel Frederick Cardway in New York City during the early 1920s. The brand operated briefly from 1923 to 1924, with Cardway having prior experience in the automotive industry through his work with Packard and Pierce-Arrow, particularly in their export divisions.

The Cardway vehicle was characterized as a touring car, designed primarily for the export market. It featured right-hand steering and utilized a range of standard components, which contributed to its undistinguished reputation in terms of design. Production of the Cardway was limited, with only four touring cars completed in 1923. An additional one or two units were produced in 1924, differing only in the model of the Continental six-cylinder engine used—specifically, the 6Y engine for the initial four cars and the 7U engine for the later models.

One of the Cardway vehicles was exported to Australia, while the fate of the remaining units remains largely unknown. At least one of the surviving Cardway cars is known to be in the possession of a Canadian collector, highlighting the brand's limited but notable presence in automotive history.
