Cook

1900-1900

Cook was an early automobile brand established in 1900 in Turin, Italy, by the company Officinc Pastore e Racca. The brand was designed by Marcello Racca, who was a lawyer by profession.

The Cook vehicles were characterized by their small size and were powered by a single-cylinder Aster engine, which produced between 3 to 5 horsepower. They featured a two-speed gearbox, belt drive, and tiller steering, which were common attributes of early automobiles.

The origin of the brand's English-sounding name remains unclear, as there is no documented explanation for this choice. Cook's production was part of the early automotive landscape in Italy, contributing to the development of the industry during that era.
