History


R. A. Palmer purchased the well equipped Cartercar factory from General Motors to produce a low priced car. Model 37 was a 4-cylinder 23-hp touring car called the Tourist selling for $795 (equivalent to $16,815 in 2021) and a four-seat roadster called the Gypsy selling for $825. The car was given a large selection of colors to distinguish them from competitors.[2][1]

In 1920, management issues caused the company to be sold to Otis Friend and the Friend automobile would go into production later in 1920.[1]
