Douglas [2] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Douglas Motors Corporation was an American automobile manufacturer based in Omaha, Nebraska, which operated briefly from 1919 to 1920. The company emerged as a continuation of the Drummond Motor Company, which had previously produced vehicles under the Drummond brand before its acquisition by Douglas.

The Douglas vehicles primarily featured the Herschell-Spillman V8 engine and were offered in open body types. However, in late 1919, the company shifted its focus from passenger cars to commercial vehicles, deciding to concentrate on the production of trucks. Douglas Motors Corporation manufactured a range of commercial vehicles, including half-ton to 3.5-ton trucks, until it ceased operations in 1935.

While some listings suggest that the Douglas name persisted into 1920, these vehicles were likely unsold 1919 models that were marketed as 1920 cars. The company's brief existence reflected the challenges faced by early automotive manufacturers in the evolving market of the early 20th century.
