1930 American Austin Coupe

HI-RES VERSION

After the success of the Austin 7, Sir Herbert Austin of Birmingham, England, travelled to America in 1929 to try and expand his market. Production began in 1930 in Butler, Pennsylvania under the new American Austin Company name. The Austin 7n was restyled to more suit the American market by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, who designed the LeBaron’s Sport Phaeton body for the Mackard Model 1108. The American Austin still uses the same chassis as its English cousin, with a wheelbase of just 75 inches. It is powered by a 750cc L-head inline four-cylinder engine producing 15 horsepower mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The price was too high, at $475 it cost $40 more than a Ford Model A. Most people would rather have the bigger Ford, and while fuel economy was great for the American Austin (40mpg), gas was cheap. Productino would end in 1934. The company would later be revived by Roy Evans as the American Bantam Company, or Bantam, in 1937.
