H. C. S. Motor Car Company was an automobile manufacturer in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It may have built as many as 3,000 cars between the summer of 1920 and 1926, when its doors were closed by its creditors.
Incorporation
H. C. S. Motor Car Company was incorporated with $1,000,000 in capital in late 1919 by Harry C. Stutz, founder and former president of the Stutz Motor Car Company, with his friend Harry Campbell as treasurer and Samuel T Murdock as vice-president. Stutz served as president and managing director.[2] He also was the majority stockholder and chairman of the board of directors.[3]
Early models
A prototype was displayed at the end of 1919. The press noted the hand embossed leather upholstery was on very low seats, the cushions sat directly on the floor.[4] Others reported the center of gravity was very low and the top of the windshield was less than the height of the average man.
