The Searchmont Motor Company was a Veteran Era American luxury automobile manufacturer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1900 to 1903.

In 1902, Spenser Trask interested the well-known French Race car driver Henri Fournier, in the Searchmont company.

In May 1902 Fournier took on a large garage in Paris France and said he would spend only one month a year in the United States on Fournier-Searchmont business.

[3] [4] Searchmont was very active in Endurance Trials and received blue ribbons for all three entries in the New York to Buffalo Run in 1901.

The bigger Type IV had a wheelbase of 70 inches (1,800 mm) and 6 bhp (4.5 kW) from a single cylinder engine.

French influence is evident in the new Searchmont, shown in a certain resemblance with the contemporary Mors and the use of a pressure feed lubrication system, the first in a U. S. production car.

This did not occur because as Lee Chadwick later reminisced, in the summer of 1903 "Spencer Trask got pinched in the stock market...and the rest of the gang just quit."
