In 1901, in Camden, New Jersey,[3] the Automobile and Marine Power Company decided to move from just producing engines to building whole cars. Their cars were basic, with the engine underneath the seat, tiller steering, and a side crank. Base price was $700, but with options the price was raised to $850. Just one year later, the car ceased production.
