Garford Motor Truck Co.

Brand

Something Missing?

The Garford Company had a shaky history as an independent automobile company. In its early years, Garford forged a relationship with Studebaker. The partnership dissolved Garford and produced cars for just another two years. However, Garford found its niche in the transportation industry as a maker of commercial trucks. During World War I, the Garford Motor Truck Company supplied foreign countries with military vehicles. After the war it produced a series of 1.5- to 5-ton trucks.

Superior Coach is a former body manufacturer of the automotive industry. Founded in 1909 as the Garford Motor Truck Company, Superior is best known for constructing bodies for professional cars (hearses) and yellow school buses. Following major downturns in both segments in the late 1970s, Superior was liquidated by its parent company in 1980. From 1925 to 1980, the company was based in Lima, Ohio.
