The Sandusky Automobile Company was an automobile manufacturer in Sandusky, Ohio, United States, from 1902 to 1904. It was located at 1114 Camp Street.[1] LegacyThe Sandusky Automobile Company was founded by James J. Hinde who "had been a successful paper manufacturer who entered the automobile business with the belief that a small, reasonably priced car could capture a mass market."[2] This concept influenced Henry Ford. The Lucas County/Maumee Valley Historical Society concluded that "the Sandusky Automobile Company may be far more significant because of the passing interest of Henry Ford than for the number of cars they built and sold. At the time Ford was not yet a manufacturing magnate. He was a successful engineer turned inventor, who had given up his profession to enter the automotive field."[3] Although the company did not succeed, James J. Hinde made "conceptual contributions" to "the production strategy of Henry Ford." [4] ModelsThe company made an open runabout car, seating two people. The 1903 model had a "piano-box body, and a rounded bonnet front on top of the dash", with a 5-horsepower single-cylinder engine[5] water-cooled by natural gravity circulation. Power was transmitted to the rear axle by two chains. Weight of the car was {{convert|600|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. This car was exhibited at the New York Automobile Show at Madison Square Garden in 1903.[6] The 1904 model had a one-cylinder, 7 hp, water-cooled engine, a planetary transmission and a sliding gear suspension. It had a 65" wheelbase.[7] One version, called the Sandusky, was advertised at $650, in a review of 88 current models in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.[8][9] Sandusky also made a somewhat more expensive car, the Courier, with similar specifications, but a steering wheel instead of a steering lever. The 1904 model was advertised at $800,[10] and at $700.[11] The 1905 Courier F was a two-seater roadster that weighed {{convert|1100|lb|kg}}, had a 70-inch wheelbase, wooden body, and steel frame. The engine was one-cylinder and 7 horsepower, with a transmission that had two forward speeds and reverse.[12] References1. ^The Old Car Manual Project: Brochures - Gasoline and Steam Carriages, 1904 2. ^{{Cite journal | last = | first = | authorlink = | title = The Early Development of Automotive Transportation | journal = The Antique automobile | volume = 49 | issue = | pages = 20 | publisher = Antique Automobile Club of America | location = Hershey, Pennsylvania | date = 1985 | language = | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=dhhQAAAAYAAJ&q=%22James+J.+Hinde%22&dq=%22James+J.+Hinde%22&hl=en&ei=TUz0TcmLLOzKiALBiLX_Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&sqi=2&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAw | jstor = | issn = | doi = | id = | mr = | zbl = | jfm = | accessdate = June 14, 2011}} 3. ^{{Cite journal | last = | first = | authorlink = | title = The Sandusky Automobile Company | journal = Northwest Ohio Quarterly | volume = 52 | issue = | pages = | publisher = Lucas County/Maumee Valley Historical Society | location = | date = 1980 | language = | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=o-QTAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Sandusky+Automobile+Company%22&dq=%22Sandusky+Automobile+Company%22&hl=en&ei=SEH0TaLXAuPiiALSndnvBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAQ | jstor = | issn = | doi = | id = | mr = | zbl = | jfm = | accessdate = June 14, 2011}} 4. ^{{Cite book | last = | first = | authorlink = | title = Corporate America: a historical bibliography | publisher = ABC-CLIO | series = | volume = | edition = | date = 1984 | location = Santa Barbara, California | pages = 59 | language = | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=8MkaAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Hinde+to+the+production+strategy+of+Henry+Ford%22&dq=%22Hinde+to+the+production+strategy+of+Henry+Ford%22&hl=en&ei=ZED0Ta6ONYXRiALkwLGIBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&sqi=2&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA | doi = | id = | isbn = | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Kimes|first=Beverly|title=standard catalog of American Cars 1805-1942|year=1996|publisher=Krause publications|isbn=0-87341-428-4}} 6. ^{{Cite news | last = | first = | title = The New York Show | newspaper = Cycle & Automobile Trade Journal, Vol VII, No. 8 | location = Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York, New York | pages = 48A | language = | publisher = Trade Advertising and Publishing Company | date = February 1, 1903 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=J0eOQXpW6MEC&pg=PA48&dq=%22Sandusky+runabout%22&hl=en&ei=7Eb0TemSIcfdiALMnfX4Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Sandusky%20runabout%22&f=false | accessdate = June 14, 2011}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Kimes|first=Beverly|title=standard catalog of American Cars 1805-1942|year=1996|publisher=Krause publications|isbn=0-87341-428-4}} 8. ^Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly (January, 1904 p.370, Hathi Trust link 9. ^sales brochure 10. ^Sandusky advertisement, 1904 11. ^Saturday Evening Post (1904) p.19 12. ^{{cite book|last=Lewis|first=Albert L.|author2=Walter A.
