Abbott Motors is an automobile manufacturing company founded by Edwin Abbott in its first iteration in 1899. The first company was known as the Abbott Automobile Company, followed by Abbott Motor Company before the remnants of the AMC was turned into the Concordia Automobile Company. Abbott founded Abbott Motors in 1903 and Concordia was purchased by Ipsarbor Transport Corporation in 1909.
History
Abbott Motors purchased the Whiteford Motor Company in 1922 and launched the Adastra Motor Division in 1938.
Former Divisions
Abbott Motors purchased Passageway Cars in 1990, Grand Admiral Premier Automobile in 1994, and Korzchu Motor Corporation in 1979. In 1999, Abbott Motors created the Abbott Motors Elite Voyages Division. This included Whiteford, Adastra, Passageway, Grand Admiral Premier Automobile; purchased Ohlen and in 2000 purchased Voyager for the group. Mainline vehicles branded as Abbott Motors were kept from the elite voyages division. In 2002, Abbott Motors spun off Adastra and Whiteford into their mainline branding due to lack of competition with the other luxury and elite brands. Unable to maintain sales in many luxury divisions, Abbott began selling off their brands of the elite voyages division. In 2007, Abbott Motors sold off Grand Admiral Premier Automobile. In 2008, Voyager and Passagway were sold to form the Voyager-Passageway Group. In 2010, Abbott sold Ohlen functionally dismantling the entire group. Korzchu Motors was an Abbott Motors Automotive Division until 2015 until it was sold.
