1930 American Austin Brochure, "Bantam Delivery Cuts the Cost!"
01
Artifact Overview
Formed in 1929, American Austin built automobiles in Butler, Pennsylvania, under license from Great Britain's Austin Motor Company. Sales of the little four-cylinder cars were encouraging at first, but the deepening Great Depression forced American Austin into bankruptcy in 1934. Its assets were acquired by American Bantam Car Company, which continued production until 1941.
