Abbott-Detroit

Abbott-Detroit was an American brass-era automobile marque produced in Detroit in the early 20th century (active roughly 1909–1919). The company built upscale touring cars and roadsters noted for quality coachbuilt bodies and attention to finish, positioning itself in the luxury/near-luxury market of the time. There is little surviving documentation of a formal, consistently used logo; period cars are known to have displayed the Abbott-Detroit name on radiator badges and script nameplates consistent with early automotive brass-era styling. Because official branding guidelines have not survived, most references rely on period photographs, advertisements and surviving badges to illustrate the brand identity.
