American Napier (automobile)
The American Napier was an automobile sold by the Napier Motor Car Company of America from 1904 until 1912.[1]
Initially, the company imported assembled Napiers from England. From late 1904 the cars were assembled under licence in Jamaica Plain, a section of Boston, Massachusetts, in a building formerly used by the B.F. Sturtevant Company. The cars were offered with both American and British built coachwork.[1]
History[]

In 1909 a new company took over and production restarted in March that year. This lasted until 1911 when the took over the interests, but this venture barely lasted a year.[1]
