Skelton (United States) - AllCarIndex

The Skelton was a typical assembled car of its time, named after Dr SL Skelton, and affluent and prominent Oklahoma physician, and built by the St Louis Car Co, widely known as a major builder of railway coaches and tramcars.
The shops of the St Louis Car Co were deemed ideal for Skelton car manufacture, having been the production site for the earlier American Mors (1906-1909) and in 1910, the Standard. The Skelton was an assembled car with pleasing lines, a 2843mm (112 inch) wheelbase, Lycoming K 4-cylinder engine and a price tag of $1295 for the Model 35 Seasonette tourer (pictured). Like many of its peers, the Skelton was a victim of the 1920-1922 recession and ended production in 1922 after the completion of approximately 1300 cars. Dr Skelton, whose financial assistance had made the car possible, died in 1921.
