Ottawa Car Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ottawa Car Company was a builder of streetcars for the Canadian market and was founded in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1891. It was renamed Ottawa Car Manufacturing Company in 1917 and again as Ottawa Car and Aircraft Limited in 1937. The company ceased operations in 1947 as streetcars were being abandoned by cities across North America. The city of Ottawa abandoned its own streetcar network in 1959.
