1913 Crow-Elkhart Roadster
The Crow-Elkhart grew from a plan to build the Menges self-starter automobile at the Sterling-Hudson Whip Company in Elkhart, Indiana. Dr. E.C. Crow and his son Martin departed the Menges project to begin producing automobiles with their own name. Crow-Elkharts were powered by Rutenber, Lycoming, Herschell-Spillman, Gray and Atlas proprietary engines. The last Crow-Elkharts, sold in 1923-25, were assembled from left-over parts.
