美國汽車業(yè)在汽車產(chǎn)量上位居第二，僅次于中國。自19世紀(jì)90年代以來，美國大約有1900家大大小小的汽車制造商，但有些消失了，并入了公司。結(jié)果，市場被擁有許多汽車品牌的所謂"三巨頭"占領(lǐng)。這些公司是福特汽車公司、Stellantis北美公司和通用汽車公司，它們是總部設(shè)在底特律的年度銷售領(lǐng)先者。由于他們的財務(wù)實力，他們是少數(shù)幾個在大蕭條中幸存下來的人之一。

什么是美國汽車品牌？

最有影響力的美國汽車制造商是汽車市場三巨頭的代表。這些是菲亞特克萊斯勒美國，福特和通用汽車。他們擁有許多美國品牌的汽車。

大眾市場品牌

美國的汽車制造商以不同的方式影響了市場的社會地位。雖然通用汽車最初專注于豪華車型，但福特希望讓汽車普及。這成為了汽車市場大眾化的起點。低價汽車細(xì)分市場以"三大"品牌和不太知名的品牌為代表。

福特

福特是美國最大的汽車制造商之一所擁有的品牌。1903年，亨利福特翻新工廠并注冊了福特汽車公司，奠定了公司的基礎(chǔ)。這是一個繼承的家族企業(yè)。該公司提供各種各樣的車輛，在不同國家的市場都有代理。

電動汽車品牌

只有少數(shù)公司在美國生產(chǎn)電動汽車，但這并不妨礙它們占領(lǐng)許多汽車細(xì)分市場——從全尺寸和令人難以置信的強(qiáng)大汽車（包括運(yùn)動型多功能車類別)到小型熱艙口。他們不僅征服了先進(jìn)的技術(shù)，還征服了超級時尚的設(shè)計。

制造商總線

除了汽車市場的三巨頭（福特汽車公司、Stellantis北美公司和通用汽車公司)之外，美國還有其他主要的制造商。例如，Paccar公司擁有重型卡車或同一專業(yè)的納威司達(dá)公司。

通用汽車

通用汽車是美國所謂"三巨頭"汽車制造商的代表。最大的公司成立于1908年，由決定合并的小公司組成。在經(jīng)歷了21世紀(jì)初的破產(chǎn)后，它被復(fù)興，但舊的通用汽車公司被更名為汽車清算公司。

廢棄的汽車品牌

汞

福特汽車公司的眾多部門之一是水星，一個卡車和汽車品牌。該品牌創(chuàng)建于1938年，生產(chǎn)其設(shè)計的汽車。但隨著時間的推移，福特車型成為其汽車的基礎(chǔ)，有效地摧毀了水星的身份和獨立性。在其存在的最后幾年，制造商與林肯品牌一致行動。他們一起屬于一個分支-林肯水星。這種情況一直持續(xù)到2011年，這個豪華品牌的最后一輛汽車下線。那一刻，水星的故事和它的白灰色標(biāo)志結(jié)束了：一個里面有三條曲線的雙圓。像許多其他汽車制造商一樣，條紋象征著速度和運(yùn)動。

龐蒂亞克

汽車的名稱c

ompany Pontiac was taken from the history of the United States. She bears the name of an Indian leader who participated in the war against the colonists. True, she was initially known as the Pontiac Spring and Wagon Works horse carriage manufacturer. Later the name was changed, and passenger cars appeared in the assortment. The first motor vehicle was introduced in 1907. Since then, the company has been producing Oakland models until, in 1926, it produced a car under its brand name. This year is considered to be the official founding year of Pontiac.

The company produced various models but eventually went bankrupt. In 2010, her dealer contracts expired. However, the brand’s logo is always heard because it is very similar to the United States Space Force’s emblem. It is based on a red and silver three-dimensional delta symbol with a four-pointed star. It seems that the designers of the space community just turned this sign upside down.

Saturn

The General Motors concern owned many divisions, including Saturn. This brand was in no way dependent on the parent company: it had its own sales network and its line for car production. He was also guided by a personal concept, which was implemented in 1985. The essence of the ambitious project was to manufacture compact machines. They were in demand, but General Motors found the existing sales volume to be inadequate. The dissatisfaction reached the point that GM executives tried to sell the Saturn to the Penske holding. As a result, the deal fell through, after which the brand was declared bankrupt. Experts do not exclude that it can still recover, and in the distant future, cars decorated with a red and silver square logo with Saturn’s rings will return to the market.

Hummer

The basis for the Hummer was the HMMWV military vehicle. The developers made it civilian so that US Army personnel could ride it and all lovers of reliable, high-carrying SUVs. General Motors undertook to produce Hummer models, but after a decline in sales, it decided to get rid of this brand. She failed to find buyers, so in 2010 GM completely liquidated the famous division. In the Hummer’s memory, only a wordmark remains, which looks as monolithic as the cars themselves. The inscription is colored black and consists of bold letters with a contrasting thickness of strokes.

Oldsmobile

Oldsmobile is an automobile brand with 107 years of history. It appeared in 1897 when the inventor Ransom Eli Olds founded the Olds Motor Works. The owner soon abandoned his business due to financial difficulties. The General Motors Corporation considered Oldsmobile quite promising, so it bought it out and continued to expand the line. The manufacturer strived for technical excellence, for which he constantly improved components – from V8 engines to automatic transmissions. But the success was short-lived: in the 1990s, the company lost the right to its developments, and in 2000, representatives of General Motors announced the liquidation of the brand. The last Oldsmobile sedan came out in 2004. It bore the signatures of everyone who participated in the assembly and a silver oval logo, crossed out by a diagonal line.

Plymouth

The carmaker Plymouth dates back to 1928. For many years it was part of the Chrysler Corporation, and its logo featured the Mayflower ship that the British sailed to America to found the Plymouth Colony. The brand existed until 2001. During this time, it produced many cars and even surpassed Ford in terms of sales. The company developed with varying degrees of success, but by the early 1990s, it had lost ground. The volume of production fell sharply, so the division was deemed unprofitable. Chrysler Corporation liquidated it in 2001.

American Motors

American Motors is a vanished corporation that has taken a vacant niche in the car market with its small, full-size and midsize models. It was founded after four smaller companies (Packard, Studebaker, Hudson, and Nash) to compete with the “big three” of the American auto industry. In the mid-1980s. American Motors began to experience financial difficulties, and in 1987 all of the brand’s shares were bought by Chrysler. The promising start led to an unexpected outcome: the car brand was reorganized into the Jeep Eagle Corporation and merged completely with Jeep. Its original name and logo in the form of a red triangle leaning against a blue rectangle are a thing of the past forever.

Rambler

The Rambler brand has had many owners, from Thomas B. Jeffery, which created it in 1900, to the American Motors Corporation. The brand periodically left the automotive market and did not finally leave the United States in 1969. She continued to supply its products abroad and did this until 1983 until it became clear that the project was not making a lot of profit. The last time the rounded Rambler logo with a handwritten “R” was used was on Mexico’s cars.

DeLorean

The DeLorean company was founded in 1975 and ceased to exist seven years later because its owner was accused of drug trafficking. During this time, the manufacturer managed to release only one sports car, which gained fame after the film Back to the Future, where a brilliant scientist turned a DeLorean car into a time machine.

The reason for the brand’s bankruptcy was the conflict between its creator John Zachary DeLorean and General Motors Company. As you know, John used to work at GMC, and after his dismissal, he published a revelatory book about the internal problems of the automobile giant. As a result, a drug trafficking case was fabricated against him, after which he lost the support of investors. The entrepreneur was found not guilty, but by that time, he no longer had money. An independent company now owns the DeLorean name and branding. The logo has never changed – it looks like the black abbreviation DMC (for DeLorean Motor Company) with stylized mirrored letters.

Studebaker

The Studebaker Corporation was named after its creators, who came from the German Stutenb?cker family. They were engaged in blacksmithing and, in 1852, opened a workshop for the production of carts, vans, and wagons. Their company went down in the global automotive industry’s history in the early 1900s, when it manufactured carriages with an electric motor. It successfully survived the financial crisis but could not compete with the auto market’s giants, which after the war began to reduce prices. In the 1960s, rumors circulated that Studebaker was about to close. This put off buyers because they were afraid of losing their vehicle warranty. The lack of demand was the last point: the company was disbanded in 1967. Its last logo is a red and blue circle, divided into two parts by a wavy strip of silver color.

Willys-Overland

The Willys-Overland automobile company was formed in 1908 from the Overland Automotive Division and ceased to exist in 1953 when it became part of Kaiser Motors. For 45 years, she has managed to visit a manufacturer of luxury cars, take a leading position in the military industry and concentrate on the production of trucks and all-terrain vehicles. The company manufactured cars under three brands: Jeep, Overland, Willys. The main emblem of Willys-Overland was a black and white monogram: “W” superimposed on top of the “O.”

DeSoto

The Chrysler Corporation once owned the DeSoto brand, and Walter Percy Chrysler himself created it in 1928. At first, car sales were quite high, but in the late 1950s, there was a sharp decline. The brand failed to adapt to market trends, which contributed to its closure. In 1961, DeSoto ceased to exist, and its models became the basis for the Chrysler Newport. In recent years, the manufacturer has used a logo depicting Hernando de Soto, which once explored America’s territory. The portrait of the Spanish navigator was painted silver and placed inside a red circle.

Edsel

Ford Motor Company acquired the Edsel brand to fill a niche at the level of Pontiac and Dodge. This project was planned as a full-fledged division with its factories and sales network. But after a large-scale advertising campaign, it turned out that quite ordinary Edsel cars, which were positioned as something revolutionary new, did not meet the overestimated expectations of buyers. Sales dropped as soon as they started, and in 1961 the brand left the market.

Marketers named the car brand after Edsel Ford. It was later revealed that Henry Ford II categorically did not want his father’s name to decorate wheels. But because his opinion was not taken into account, the name was approved and became the basis for the logo in the form of a white letter “E” inside a green circle encircled by concentric rings.

Packard

The origins of the Packard brand are legendary. Some believe that its creator made his first car when he wanted to show engineering prowess to get a Winton job. According to another version, he criticized the car Winton and received a response in the spirit of “do it better if you can.” One way or another, the Packard brand appeared in 1899 and even outlived Winton for several decades. He staked on the luxury segment, but he was forced to switch to more affordable brands during the economic crisis. After the controversial purchase of Studebaker and the production of failed models that were not in demand, it was closed. It officially ceased its activities in 1962, but in fact, it happened in 1958. Only an oval Victorian-style logo depicting a red shield and a golden swan reminds of the former luxury.

Hudson

The Hudson Motor Car Company entered the auto market in 1909. It was named after a department store owner who became its main investor. The automaker used technical innovations, which allowed him in 1925 to take third place after Chevrolet and Ford. In the post-war era, the golden age turned into decline, as small companies like Hudson found it increasingly difficult to compete with the so-called “big three.” The crisis led to the fact that the brand was bought in 1954 by Nash-Kelvinator and virtually ceased to exist. Its old logo featured an inverted tetrahedron, heraldic towers, two ships, and the word “HUDSON” on a red shield.

Kaiser

The Kaiser Corporation has existed for less than ten years but has successfully released several successful models with distinctive designs. She disappeared in 1953 when she merged with Willys-Overland. In recent years, the company has produced more cars than it sold because everyone was only interested in cars from the Big Three: Chrysler, Ford, and GM. The black and white Kaiser logo with a buffalo and the letter “K” will forever enter the American automobile industry’s history.

Tucker

Tucker was founded in the post-war era to offer the US residents an affordable, stylish, and modern Tucker-48. The American engineer Preston Thomas Tucker already had experience in the automotive industry, so his new project seemed very promising, and he even received a loan from the government. With the borrowed money, the entrepreneur bought the world’s largest plant, wishing to begin mass production of cars quickly. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler realized that a strong competitor was entering the market and sued Tucker, accusing him of financial fraud. By the time the brand owner was acquitted, he was bankrupt. The car company was closed in 1951. Its emblem looked like an oval coat of arms with heraldic animals, a shield, and a ribbon bearing the word “Tucker.”

Stutz

The Stutz Motor Car Company from 1911 to 1924 produced sports cars that were intended for racing. One of her sports cars even managed to set a new world speed record. Then luxury vehicles were added to the range, which was adorned with a round logo with the image of blue wings and the stylized word “STUTZ.” The inside was red, and on the outside was a wide white stripe with the words “Indianapolis Indiana. U.S.A. “. In 1939, the company was declared bankrupt and liquidated.

Pierce-Arrow

Pierce-Arrow entered the car market in 1901 and existed before but made golden bird cages. Then bicycles were added to the product line. Over time, luxury cars Pierce-Arrow became a must-have for noble people. Royals must have at least one model of this brand in their fleet. The same could boast of tycoons and Hollywood stars. So the round logo with antique archer and arrow was famous all over the world. The company did not offer cheap cars for sale, and expensive ones sold out very slowly. As a result, the Pierce-Arrow story ended in 1938, although enthusiasts tried to revive the brand in the 2000s.

Duesenberg

Duesenberg luxury cars have become a symbol of prestige and high status, and sports cars have won many races. But this did not save the company from liquidation: it was closed in 1937, having existed for 24 years. Duesenberg vehicles are now being hunted by collectors, with several hundred vehicles remaining on the move. The logo with the image of the golden eagle, the words “DUESENBERG STRAIGHT,” and the blue number “8” are still associated with wealth and luxury.

Fisker

Fisker Automotive has become famous for its hybrid electric vehicles, which have been produced since 2008. It relied on progressive development and even won a lawsuit when Tesla Motors accused it of stealing technology. The brand’s most famous car is the Fisker Karma sports luxury sedan. Its production was stopped due to the bankruptcy of a battery supplier. And in 2014, Fisker Automotive itself went bankrupt. Its owner Henrik Fisker retained all trademarks’ rights, including the logo with two semicircles in red and blue and with a white ring bearing the black FISKER lettering. He later used the name and logo for his new company, Fisker Inc.

Mosler

Entrepreneur, politician, and economist Warren Mosler began assembling cars in 1985. He named his company Consulier Industries and made the star of the sports car range for professional racing. In 1993, a special division, Mosler Automotive, was opened. It presented several more sports models – as lightweight as possible, very luxurious, and incredibly fast. These cars won first place in prestigious competitions. But due to marketing mistakes, Mosler was closed in 2013. The high speed of sports cars was hinted at by a symbol: a black letter “M,” stylized as a lightning bolt. It was inside a yellow shield with a narrow base, along with the inscription “MOSLER.”

Sterling

The automobile company Sterling, known for its oval logo with an elongated silver “S,” appeared in North America in 1987. It sold sedans and hatchbacks that were based on the Rover 800 series. The brand was Austin Rover Cars of North America. In the beginning, customers liked that all models were supplied with natural wood finishes. But then shortcomings appeared: corrosion, poor-quality paintwork, malfunctions of electronics. Due to these and other problems, the brand left the US car market in 1991.

Eagle

The black and white logo featuring the heraldic shield and raven head is a long-forgotten symbol of the Eagle. The carmaker became a thing of the past in 1999 when it stopped producing luxury and sports cars. And he began his career in 1988 as a division of the Jeep-Eagle Division, created by Chrysler based on the American Motors Corporation.

Geo

In 1989, General Motors opened the Geo division to manufacture compact and subcompact cars. The manufacturer relied on a combination of low prices and high-quality assembly. Suzuki and Toyota corporations also participated in creating the brand, so this project was initially promising. But its story ended in 1997 when GM became disenchanted with low demand and closed the brand name, transferring the rights to all models to Chevrolet. Since then, cars have been sold under different names. They are no longer adorned with the red ‘Geo’ emblem with parallels and meridians inside the letter ‘o’.

Merkur

Merkur is considered one of the most short-lived brands in the US auto industry since it only existed for four years. This brand was created to satisfy consumer demand for European-made cars because such trends were observed in the North American car market in the early 1980s. Moreover, Merkur was a Ford Motor Company project designed for the luxury segment. The production was located in West Germany, so cars’ prices were constantly changing due to the unstable exchange rate. Ford executives considered the demand for Merkur cars too low and decided to liquidate the brand in 1989. Customers did not even have time to get used to the black and white logo, stylized as a radiator grille with the words “MERKUR.”

International Harvester

Buses, tractors, trucks, SUVs, pickup trucks, and tractors have made International Harvester famous worldwide. This company did not arise from scratch: it was created in 1902 due to the merger of two enterprises that produced agricultural machinery. After absorbing another competitor, McCormick Harvesting Machine Company rebranded and was renamed International Harvester. This name was used for the logo. At the top was a red and black monogram of the letters “IH,” and at the bottom was a bold inscription “International Harvester.” After the strike, the firm went bankrupt and was sold to Tenneco, Inc. The new owner closed it in 1985.

Hupmobile

Hupmobiles joined the Hupp Motor Car Company lineup in 1909 and immediately attracted public attention, earning a compliment from Henry Ford. The demand for this brand’s roadsters has grown so much that the manufacturer was forced to expand the plant. Then the owners decided to turn the budget subcompact Hupmobile into a large and expensive car. Striving for profit, they lost their loyal customers. Over time, Hupp Motor Car Company developed internal problems related to shareholder disagreements. The firm lost its factories, so shipments slowed, and buyers began to refuse orders. The last car with the black handwritten Hupmobile logo rolled off the assembly line in 1939.

Detroit Electric

Detroit Electric cars were equipped with an electric motor that was powered by a rechargeable battery. They were driven mainly by doctors and female drivers because it was difficult for them to start ordinary cars with internal combustion engines manually. Detroit Electric’s golden era began in the 1910s when gasoline prices rose. Even the philanthropist John Davison Rockefeller Jr. and America’s greatest inventor Thomas Edison. But ICE car manufacturers have returned to the market with the latest models, displacing electric cars. In recent years, the company made vehicles only to order until it went bankrupt. She used a round blue gradient logo with stylized ‘DETROIT’ lettering. In the ring-frame, there was an arch formed by the full name of the brand.

Auburn

The predecessor of the Auburn Automobile Company made horse-drawn carriages. But as it developed, the car brand spun off from its parent firm to build experimental models. Its history ended in 1937, when the holding, to which it was a member, was declared bankrupt. And all because the manufacturer relied on luxury cars, which turned out to be unprofitable. The Auburn logo looked just as luxurious: a gold plaque engraved with the brand name.

Franklin

Franklin is named not after a politician but after his namesake Herbert H. Franklin, who decided to start manufacturing cars in 1902. The company produced innovative air-cooled models. In 1930, his engineers improved the design of the engine, achieving an increase in power. Things were going well, but after the Great Depression, people stopped buying luxury cars. In 1934, the automaker went bankrupt, and its name and all assets, including the logo with an underlined handwritten “Franklin” lettering, were sold.

Cole

One of the Indianapolis auto industry founders was the Cole Motor Car Company, which makes luxury cars with a V-8 combustion engine. It appeared in 1909 based on another enterprise (Cole Carriage Company) and left the market in 1925 because its owner was afraid of bankruptcy and did not want to risk his money. The history of the American auto industry includes the Cole logo with black Victorian lettering.
