Cunard (coachbuilder)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minerva chassis
The Cunard Motor & Carriage company was a British vehicle coachbuilder. It was founded in London in 1911 and continued in various forms up to the 1960s.[1]
The main customer for the bodies was Napier & Son and from its works in Lower Richmond Road, London, SW15 Cunard provided a range of coachwork to fit on Napier chassis. Shortly after its formation, Cunard became a subsidiary of Napier and acted as their in-house coachbuilder but continued to supply bodies to other companies.
Weymann
In 1924 Napier stopped making cars and the Cunard business was sold to Weymann Motor Bodies Ltd[2] who were looking for premises in which to build their range of car bodies. The Cunard name was dropped.[1]
