Anhut Motor Car Company

The Anhut Motor Car Company was an American brass era automobile manufacturer, based in Detroit, Michigan, from 1909 until 1910.

The car was known as the Anhut 6, and used a Brownell six-cylinder overhead valve engine of 3.7L[citation needed] displacement, producing 36 hp (27 kW; 36 PS), with a 110 in (2,800 mm) wheelbase.

[5] Sales were promising,[2] and the company purchased the factory of the bankrupt Chatham Motor Car Company in 1910,[6] continuing to manufacture badge engineered Chathams under its own brand[7] for the Canadian market.

[2] Anhut relinquished control of the company in order to concentrate on his upcoming re-election to the Michigan State Senate.

[5] Barnes planned to build a six-cylinder car for $2,250 and a four-cylinder for $1,400, but the company was bankrupt by November 1910.
