The Automobile Construction & Engineering Company was established in 1914 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The firm primarily focused on manufacturing automobiles tailored to dealer orders rather than individual private owners. This business model allowed the company to cater to the needs of automotive dealers, providing them with vehicles that could be sold to consumers.

The vehicles produced by the company featured a 4-cylinder Continental engine, a 3-speed gearbox, and a shaft drive system. These components were designed to deliver reliable performance. The company also emphasized the quality of its vehicles, offering what it described as a "first class body" for a price of $675. Notably, the engine was positioned exceptionally far back in the chassis, which was a distinctive design choice for the time.
