Artifact Overview

Edward S. "Ned" Jordan founded the Jordan Motor Car Company in 1916. The Cleveland, Ohio, company assembled automobiles and Ned Jordan advertised them. Attractive styling, unique model names, and creative advertising helped sales. However, a poor sales year in 1927, followed by the stock market crash of 1929, signaled the end. Jordan produced its last car in 1931.
