Crescent Automobile & Supply Company was established in 1905 in St. Louis, Missouri. The company aimed to specialize in the production of racing cars, a vision spearheaded by its president, O.H. Van Kleck. However, despite this ambition, the firm primarily produced two models: a 2-cylinder tourer and a roadster.

The tourer was priced at $950, while the roadster was offered at $885. These models represented the company's foray into the automotive market, but they did not achieve significant recognition or production volume. Ultimately, Crescent Automobile & Supply Company did not sustain long-term operations, and its contributions to the automotive industry remained limited.
