The PDF includes beautiful illustrations and detailed technical information on the 1918, 1919 and 1920 Series "R" Models. Lexington Motor Company was founded in Lexington, Kentucky in 1909 and moved to Connersville, indiana in 1910 where it produced vehicles until 1927. This brochure details the design and specifications of the 1918 Lexington models Five-Passenger Touring Car, Sport-Tour, and Convertible Sedan. It includes several illustrations of the body, engine, wheels and other parts of the cars. Prices for these automobile models in 1918 were: Touring Car $1,685; Sport-Tour $1,685; Convertible Sedan $1,985. As the Lexington Motor Car Company struggled through financial difficulties in 1913, it was purchased by E.W. Ansted, who was tasked with creating a six-cylinder Howard. After a couple years of the ‘Lexington-Howard’ company, the Lexington Motor Car Company once again resumed using it’s former name. However, the inclusion of Ansted wasn’t a bad thing, as he supplemented the four-cylinder engines with a ‘light six’ (capable of producing 29 horsepower) or ‘supreme six’ (capable of 41 horsepower) engine. The company further raised their notoriety following the 1920 Pikes Peak hill climb, when two short-wheelbase race cars (accompanied by the Ansted engine) finished first and second in the race. That same year, the company merged with Ansted Engineering Company and Connersville Foundry Corporation in a $10 million merger. The year would also be the peak of the Lexington Motor Car Company’s production, with over 6,000 vehicles built.
