About: Stoddard-Dayton Automobile

About: Stoddard-Dayton Automobile

Started in 1904, the Stoddard Dayton Company’s focus was on producing luxury cars that were built for speed. By 1907, the company had built quite a reputation for themselves as one of the premier American luxury car manufacturers. Stoddard Daytons were also doing well in racing events of the period - the Indianapolis races, the Philadelphia Fairmont Park races and the Vanderbilt Cup races in Long Island, New York. Unfortunately, the Stoddard Dayton Company became part of Benjamin Briscoe’s automobile conglomerate in 1912. By 1913 both Briscoe’s automotive empire and Stoddard Dayton had gone out of business.
