The company, originally founded under These name Auto Car Equipment Company by George W. Atterbury, Elmer B. Olmstead, and John B. Corcoran, initially produced only commercial vehicles. From 1907 onwards, passenger cars were also manufactured. In December 1909, the company was renamed in Atterbury Motor Car Company to avoid confusion with the similar Autocar. Between 1908 and 1910, commercial vehicles were offered under the brand name Buffalo. In March 1912, the company was renamed again to Atterbury Motor Truck Company. In addition to domestic sales, Atterbury trucks were also sold in Sweden. [1] Truck production finally ended in 1935 due to the Great Depression.
