Champion Wagon Company
- 1888-1921 - Owego, New York
Originally a South-Central NY commercial wagon and carriage maker,
Champion started manufacturing self-propelled commercial vehicles in 1902. In 1905 they marketed some smart-looking
electric delivery vans and depot hacks. With the introduction of the Model T they started a series of small trucks
built on Ford Model T chassis. In 1916 they offered a limited number of funeral coaches on chassis from Studebaker,
Overland and Cadillac. A bankruptcy in 1913 and a bail-out in 1919 sealed their fate and the doors closed
permanently in 1921.
