Encyclopedia > Allen Kingston

The Allen Kingston was an American automobile manufactured by the New York Car & Truck Company for motor agent Walter C. Allen of New York City. The car was designed on European lines, but was meant for American manufacture to circumvent the 45% duty on imported cars. These 45hp 7400cc cars were advertised as combining "the best features of the Fiat, the Renault and the Mercedes in a harmonious new construction of the highest quality". Sadly, they were only in production for two years, from 1907 to 1909.
