The Maryland automobile was built by the Sinclair-Scott Company of Baltimore, Maryland, between 1907 and 1910. [1]
Sinclair-Scott was a maker of food canning machinery and in the early 1900s started to make car parts. One of their customers, Ariel, failed to pay and in recompense Sinclair-Scott took over production, [1] moved the factory to Baltimore, [2] and marketed the car as the Maryland. [1]
The car was powered by a 30-hp [3] four-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine. [4] The Ariel design was initially unchanged, and the Maryland was originally available as a four-seat roadster or a five-seat touring car. The wheelbase was later lengthened from the initial 100 inches (2,500 mm) to 116 inches (2,900 mm). Limousines became available in 1908 and town cars in 1909. [2] Prices ranged from $2,500 to $3,200, (equivalent to $75,398in 2021). [4]
Production stopped in 1910 after 871 Marylands had been made, as producing the cars was not profitable. The company returned to the manufacture of food-canning machinery. [1]
