The Saxon Motor Car Corporation, based in Detroit, Michigan, was a notable American automobile manufacturer that operated from 1913 to 1922. Founded by Hugh Chalmers, the company initially produced high-quality, affordable vehicles aimed at the middle-class market. Saxon cars were known for their reliability, simplicity, and robust construction, making them popular choices among buyers seeking dependable transportation. The company’s most famous model was the Saxon Six, introduced in 1914, which featured a powerful six-cylinder engine and stylish design. Despite facing challenges such as increased competition and financial difficulties, Saxon managed to maintain a loyal customer base throughout its existence. However, production ceased in 1922 due to financial troubles, marking the end of the Saxon brand. Today, Saxon automobiles are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and classic American craftsmanship.
