The Selden Motor Vehicle Company was formed in 1906 after taking over the Buffalo Gasoline Motor Company. "Made By The Father Of Them All" was the company's advertising slogan. The first Selden vehicle was seen on the road in June of 1907. This four-cylinder car sold for between $2,000 and $2,500. Selden cars had a small following and the company did fairly well producing 850 cars in 1908; 1,216 in 1909; 1,417 in 1910; 1,628 in 1911; 1,211 in 1912; 873 in 1813 and only 229 in 1914. The last Selden autos were built in 1914. Selden autos came in Touring, Runabout, Roadster and Limousine models. All cars were powered by a four-cylinder engine of 30 to 40 horsepower and not the engine in the original patent. |
