Located in Shreveport, the Louisiana Motor Car Company was one of the thousands of small, independent auto companies which sprung up across America in the late 1910s and early 1920s.[7][8] The company's founding came amidst a wider social movement described as the "classic era" of automobiles, in which automobiles became more affordable for consumers, and their manufacture became more necessary for society.[9]
The Louisiana Motor Car Company produced cars by assembling pieces purchased from various suppliers like Continental Motors.[8] The company's showroom was in downtown Shreveport in the Uneeda Building,[10][11] while manufacturing took place in Cedar Grove, Louisiana.[8]
