AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY

The Anderson Motor Company built cars in Rocky Hill, South Carolina from 1916 to 1925. The Anderson was produced to be a direct competitor for Henry Ford’s Model T, but the company’s advertising slogan was, “A little bit higher in price, but made in Dixie.” They boasted high-quality trim and materials, like mahogany and leather, and colors like purple, blue and yellow; a stark contrast to Ford’s black. These features would set you back quite a bit for the time. You could buy a Ford for as little as $345 while a five-passenger Anderson touring car was $1,650 and a sedan was to $2,550.
