Safety Buggy Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania -
SAFETY - Although the Safety Buggy Company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was
cited as the producer of an automobile in 1902 by Cycle and Automobile Trade
Journal, it did not build a car. Instead, the firm manufactured wooden
bodies for other car producers (the Autocar and Imperial of Pennsylvania
among them), with production of these beginning in 1901 and continuing until
1907 when the firm failed because it lacked the money to outfit its plant
for manufacture of wood-framed metal coachwork. Late in the year previous
B.G. Dodge, L.G. Dodge and A.B. Dodge had- grandly incorporated the Safety
Buggy Company with a capital stock of $250,000 but obviously had been unable
to interest investment capital.
