Gurley (automobile company)
Gurley is a now defunct automobile manufacturing company that was based in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania.
Foundation
Tom Gurley was a jeweller and bookseller who also sold and repaired bicycles.[1] This lead him into the manufacture of cars. In partnership with his brother Oscar, Gurley also established the first automobile dealership and garage in Meyersdale.[2]
Vehicles
In 1900, Gurley launched a two-seater buggy with a single-cylinder engine, tubular frame, bicycle wheels and tiller steering,[1] which Gurley built in his bicycle shop.[2] Gurley thought that he could make a profit by selling them at $600, but had to raise the price to $1,000.[1] Very few were made and Gurley ended manufacture in 1901.[1]
