Astral (1923 automobile)

The Astral was a short-lived American automobile manufactured in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1923. Production was extremely limited, and few details about the company or the car itself are available. Sources indicate it was an assembled car, meaning it used components manufactured by other companies rather than building everything in-house. The Astral Automobile Company, if it actually existed as a formal entity, remains largely obscure in automotive history. Its primary significance lies in its rarity and as an example of the numerous small, independent automobile ventures that briefly emerged during the early years of the American automotive industry.
