USA Daimler
USA Daimler, ''Daimler Manufacturing Company'', was a boutique American automaker company, from 1905 to 1907, with its offices in Long Island City. Previously, from 1888 to 1905 this company and its predecessor, ''Daimler Motor Company'', sold Daimler motors for yachts and launches and a very few goods vehicles. It most probably built and sold just one car.
==History==
When Gottlieb Daimler visited New York as a member of a male voice choir he chanced to meet William Steinway and as a result Steinway founded ''Daimler Motor Company'' in Long Island New York.〔Lord Montagu and David Burgess-Wise ''Daimler Century'' ; Stephens 1995 ISBN 1-85260-494-8〕 opening on September 29, 1888. It was to sell Cannstatt made engines and, from 1891, engines made under license by the ''National Machine Company'' of Hartford, Connecticut. ''USA-Daimler'' started making their own automobile and stationary engines in 1895 followed a decade later under new ownership by perhaps one complete automobile.
Steinway confidently explained to the press: ''"The fuel, petroleum, costs about one cent per hp and hour, making the automobile considerably less expensive than horse power. We already had a horseless vehicle here in 1893 but it was too lightly built for the rough cobblestone streets we have in this country”''.
