A LOT of Americans made automobiles in 1900-1930, here are a some, a couple of them I've never heard of
1895 Electrobat II... and for the trivia buffs, it was the winner of the first car race in America
Geronimo's Cadillac is how it was presented, but I doubt that he owned it... it's probably a photo op planned picture
Teddy Roosevelt in a Fawick Flyer at the Sioux Falls Railroad Depot. Only 5 were ever built
A Moosejaw Standard
A Saxon
1915 Monroe
1916 Woods Mobilette
1917 Apperson Jack Rabbit
This is a 1917 Geronimo
1920 Barley Roamer roadster
1923 Arkansas Climber
1952 Maverick
A Powell, made in LAAll of these are only a fraction of the interesting defunct manufacturers on the Jalopy Journal thread that challenged car guys every where to post photos and information about car makers that went out of business long ago: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=397594

Hugh Chisholm's 1934 woody, more than one US President are connected to it and Hugh Chisholm... because he also had a 243' yacht in the DC area
Hugh was very very rich, and had a very very big yacht built... so nice that when the Presidential yacht USS Potomac was deemed unfit for open water duty, the US Navy decided the next best yacht (or the best, as we just read that the Potomac wasn't in good condition) was Hugh's private yacht that had been custom built for him by the Bath Iron Works (same shipyard that built submarines for the US Navy)
" President Truman spent more time aboard than any president spent on a presidential yacht "
