James (automobile company)

The James automobile manufactured by the J & M Motor Car Company of Lawrenceburg, Indiana was produced from 1909 to 1911.

History
H. K. James tested his first car, called a Model A, on April 2, 1909, on a 100-mile test run. A reporter from Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal wrote that the James "will climb any ordinary hill with two or four passengers." The Model A was a high wheeler and cost between $700 and $800. Production was minimal, and in 1911 the company switched production to a larger car called the Dearborn. It lasted one year.
