thumb|Abbott-Detroit 1911
The Abbott-Detroit was an American luxury automobile manufactured between 1909 and 1919.
History
The original car was designed by John G. Utz, designer of the Chalmers, who had previously worked for Olds Motor Works and the Autocar Company. On presentation the car received high praise: By 1916, production of these cars had reached 15 to 20 units a day, so the company moved from Detroit to a larger facility in Cleveland. This proved too stressful on the company's finances, and they declared bankruptcy in April 1918.
Dealerships
The company opened a dealership in Kansas City, Missouri around June 1910. The newly constructed building was located at 321 Admiral Boulevard, on the southeast corner of Admiral Boulevard and McGee Street. His goal was to "place five hundred cars in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma."
