Ben Hur (automobile)

The Ben-Hur Motor Company was incorporated in 1916 in the state of Delaware, with the cars being built by L. L. Allyn in Willoughby, Ohio.

Ben-Hur exhibited a cloverleaf roadster at the 1917 New York Auto Show.

[3] In February 1918 Allyn announced that between 30 and 40 cars had been shipped to dealers, and that plans called for five to ten cars a week for the time being, owing to the difficulty in securing bodies.

The company had a factory with a capacity of building 20 cars per day.

A meeting was scheduled in March to increase capitalisation, but by May 1918 the company was in receivership.
