The Cunningham’s were made here in Rochester NY. Most of their buildings are still standing and are being converted to loft apartments. After they stopped building cars in the mid 1930s they continued for awhile making custom bodies for other makes.  They are still in business as a small electronics company in the suburbs.

1922 Cunningham.

 

When I was in high school I had an English teacher that was a descendent of the Cunningham Family and a math teacher that was a descendent of George Selden.

 

For those of you that forgot history, George Selden held the patent to the automobile and collected royalties from all the other auto manufactures. Henry Ford refused to pay, and successfu6lyl challenged Selden in court.

Selden produced Automobiles from 1909 to 1912. and trucks for a while after that.
