Kensington (steam automobile company)
The Kensington Automobile Company was a veteran-era automobile company that operated from 1899 to 1904 in Buffalo, New York.[1]
History
[edit]In August 1899, the Kensington Bicycle Company ceased bicycle production to venture into automobile manufacturing. They introduced a small electric car in 1900, which was later accompanied by a steam runabout in 1901. In 1902, a two-cylinder gasoline automobile was introduced and continued to be produced until 1904. Unfortunately, the company faced failure in 1904.[1]
