Ben Hur (automobile)


The Ben-Hur Motor Company was incorporated 1916 in the state of Delaware, with the cars being built by L. L. Allyn in Willoughby, Ohio.

Features

Ben-Hur exhibited a cloverleaf roadster at the 1917 New York Auto Show. In February 1918 Allyn announced that between 30 and 40 cars had been shipped to dealers, and that plans called for five to ten cars a week for the time being, owing to the difficulty in securing bodies. The company had a factory with a capacity of building 20 cars per day. A meeting was scheduled in March to increase capitalisation, but by May 1918 the company was in receivership.
