Famous Mfg. Company is listed as being located at both East Chicago, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois. Since the firm’s addresses are nearly as elcusive as their product history, it can only be speculated that the company either moved sometime during its life span, or what is more likely, they maintained sales and business officed in Chicago with the manufacturing plant in East Chicago.
As did many other engine manufacturers, Famous eventually entered the automotive scene, introducting a two-passenger car in 1908. Its two cylinder opposed air cooled engine had overhead valves, adn appears to be a variation of their stationary engine. The Famous high-wheeler automobile was built in several styles, but only ramined on the marker for a couple of years.
