Carlton Carriage Company

The Carlton Carriage Company was a London coachbuilder that provided bespoke coachwork for some of the finest car makers of the 1920s and 1930s.

[3] Albert Victor Halsall and William Pearson Biddle were part of the early & talented design / engineering team.

The main European manufactures for which Carlton provided bodies included: Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Daimler, Delahaye, Hipano-Suiza, Humber, Lancia, Lagonda, Mercedes, MG, Rolls-Royce, Talbot, Vauxhall, Wolseley and Waverly.

The main American manufacturers that they created bodies for included: Buick, Chrysler, Essex, Hudson, Oldsmobile, Packard and Pontiac.

They built eleven, possibly twelve individual bodies on the "Silent Sports Car" Bentley Chassis between 1934 and 1939 including B55KU, B44MR, B56JD, B203KU and B193GPJ.

Only one such example of a Wolseley 21/60 3 position drop head tourer is believed to remain, AGX 653 in which the classic Carlton early 1930s jazz era styling is clearly evident.
