Pullman Company. Manufacturing Dept.

Hide Profile

After the first World War the Pullman Company moved into the manufacture of all-steel automobile bodies at its Pullman Car Works and sought business with such firms as Packard, Willys-Overland, the Moon Motor Car Company, and the Peerless Motor Car Company.

Using patented designs developed by Peter Parke (Pullman Company Chief Engineer), the company built experimental prototypes for Packard and Willys-Overland and manufactured bodies for Moon and Peerless automobiles. In 1930, Pullman, having abandoned the automobile arena, sold its patents to the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company.
