Holley Motor Company was a manufacturer of automobiles in Bradford, Pennsylvania between 1900 and 1904. The company was in 1904 to a group of local investors who renamed it the Bradford Motor Works and who seem to have sold off unused components to make cars in kit form[citation needed].
History[edit]
The Holley Motor Company began in 1899 when George and Earl Holley started building motorcycle engines. When few people were interested, they began selling complete motorcycles with a design unusual at the time—the motor was incorporated into the bicycle, solving common issues of vibration and noise[1]. In 1903, they shifted to producing motor cars, and introduced the Holley Motorette[2]
The 1904 Holley was a touring car model. It could seat two passengers and sold for US$650. The vertical-mounted water-cooled single-cylinder engine, situated at the front of the car, produced 5 hp (3.7 kW). The car weighed 850 lb (386 kg).Yearly sell estimated 647000.
The Holley brothers later became major makers of carburettors supplying Ford and being bought by them in 1917. They later set up business again and made a new line of carburetors and other components.
