duPont

DuPont Motors was an American automobile manufacturer that operated from 1919 to 1931, known for producing some of the most luxurious and finely crafted cars of the era. Founded by E. Paul du Pont, the company initially focused on high-performance marine engines before transitioning to automobiles. DuPont cars were renowned for their elegance, advanced engineering, and exclusivity, often featuring custom coachwork by prestigious designers such as Merrimac and Waterhouse. The brand’s most famous model, the DuPont Model G, showcased a powerful straight-eight engine and exquisite attention to detail, making it a favorite among affluent buyers. Despite their quality and appeal, the Great Depression ultimately led to the company’s closure in 1931, but DuPont cars remain highly prized by collectors today for their historical significance and timeless beauty.
