Gibbons (automobile)

The Gibbons was a short-lived American automobile manufactured in Detroit, Michigan, from 1917 to 1918. The Gibbons-Grinnell Auto Co. produced the vehicle, which was offered as a light six-cylinder touring car. Production was limited, and few examples are known to exist today. Sources suggest the company faced financial difficulties early on, contributing to its brief existence. The car was marketed towards middle-class buyers seeking a reliable and moderately priced vehicle. Little specific technical information about the Gibbons automobile is readily available, although period advertisements suggest a focus on smooth ride and comfortable passenger accommodation.
