Jordan

Jordan cars, produced by the Jordan Motor Car Company, were a distinctive and influential part of the American automotive landscape during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in 1916 by Edward S. “Ned” Jordan in Cleveland, Ohio, the company quickly gained a reputation for its stylish and innovative designs, which often emphasized flair and individuality over purely utilitarian concerns. The 1930s saw Jordan continue to produce elegant and luxurious vehicles that appealed to affluent buyers seeking sophistication and performance. Models like the Jordan Speedway Series were known for their sleek lines, advanced engineering, and vibrant color options, which set them apart from the more conservative designs of their competitors. Despite their aesthetic appeal and quality, Jordan cars struggled during the Great Depression, as economic challenges forced many luxury car manufacturers out of business. The company ceased production in 1931, but the legacy of Jordan cars lives on as a symbol of the glamorous and adventurous spirit of early American motoring.
