Artifact Overview
Elmer and Edgar Apperson formed their Apperson Brothers Automobile Company in Kokomo, Indiana, in 1901. Apperson introduced its Jack Rabbit line of sporty speedsters in 1907, and those first four-cylinder models were capable of 75 miles per hour. Six- and eight-cylinder Jack Rabbits came later. After hitting its peak production in 1916, Apperson declined and closed in 1926.
