John B. McFarlan established his carriage works in Connersville, Indiana, in 1856. His grandson, A. Harry McFarlan, manufactured the company's first automobiles in 1909. Large and luxurious, McFarlan cars were built in small numbers. McFarlan Motor Car Company survived World War I and the postwar recession, but Harry McFarlan's failing health led to its closing in 1928.
