Artifact Overview
Saxon Motor Car Company began building automobiles in late 1913. The Detroit-based firm built lightweight cars of good quality. Early successes, however, were short-lived. By the end of the decade production had fallen and money had grown short. An abbreviated 1923 model year was Saxon's last.
