Bliss (automobile)
Encyclopedia
The E. W. Bliss Company of Brooklyn, New York, was manufacturer of the Bliss automobile. The company was founded in 1867 and diversified into automobile manufacturing for a short stint in 1906.
In 1904, Motor Age Magazine published a story about how “The E.W. Bliss Company has taken up the manufacture of automobiles." Experiments with prototypes had been so successful that plans were made for the installation of a plant "which will permit extensive operations along these lines.”
Bliss was one of the 204 exhibitors for display on the main floor of the Automobile Club of America sixth annual car show in New York City
that took place from January 13th through January 20th, 1906.
Eliphalet Bliss died in 1902, so he did not live to see the cars that would "carry his name on the badge."
By March 1906, the company was advertising in a national trade magazine. Douglas Andrews was the sales agent in New York City
at 1623 Broadway.
