A superb and rare photo of the
interior of the Owen Thomas Car company factory
The Owen Thomas Car Company
was founded in 1908 in Janesville, Wisconsin, by W. Owen Thomas of Chicago in a
machine shop that belonged to the Chicago & North Western Railroad. It
survived till 1910.
The company made cars that were
called Owen Thomas "Sixes." They had air-cooled, 60 hp
six-cylinder engines. On advance feature was that instead of a carb., the Owen
Thomas had an early type of fuel injection system based on early aviation
practices. The wheelbase was a long 136". The company went out of business
in Sept. of 1910, the official reason was because the backers could not get a Selden
license.
