Bradley (automobile)

Defunct American motor vehicle manufacturer

Not to be confused with Bradley Automotive.

The Bradley was an automobile manufactured in Cicero, Illinois, United States, by the Bradley Motor Car Company. Production commenced in 1920 with the Model H tourer, which was powered by a 4 cylinder Lycoming engine, had a 116-inch wheelbase, and a selling price of $1295.[1]

In 1921 the Model H continued in production, but was joined by the 6 cylinder powered Model F, also available as a tourer for $1500.[1]

In November 1920, the company went into involuntary receivership, with liabilities of approximately $100,000.[1] Although the assets held by the company were greater, including finished and partly-assembled vehicles, along with a large inventory, the company was bankrupt by the end of 1921.[1] Total production of the Bradley automobile was 263 cars.[1]
