Rainier Motor Car Company

Rainier Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer founded in 1905 by John T. Rainier in Flushing, New York. The company specialized in manufacturing large and luxurious automobiles. In 1909, the company was bought by General Motors who maintained the brand until 1911.

History

Rainiers were big, conventional and solidly built automobiles with much power. They earned local success with hill climbs and mountain races. The company was also one of the first ever who offered a limited one-year guarantee on "use without repair expenses".

They were first headquartered in John Rainier’s dealership for Vehicle Equipment (V.E.) Automobiles. James G. Heaslet became chief engineer for Rainier, a position which he held for the whole time of production.

In the beginning, Rainiers received their final assembly in Flushing. Chassis were delivered by the Garford Motor Truck Company of Elyria, Ohio which specialized in automobile components and built chassis for several car manufacturers, most prominently Studebaker.
