The American Motor Truck Company of Newark, Ohio, was a truck manufacturer.
History The American Motor Truck Company produced trucks from 1918 to 1927. The predecessor company was founded at the end of 1911 as Blair Manufacturing Company with a capital of US$ 100,000 by Frank M. Blair. To finance the starting capital, the investors John R. McCune, Willis A. Robbins, Edwin C. Wright, and Harry H. Baird came on board. The company was operated under the name Blair Manufacturing Company until 1914. Then it was renamed in Blair Motor Truck Company (1914–1918). Another renaming took place in 1918, leading to the American Motor Truck Company (1918–1927). The brand names were Blair from 1911 to 1918 and ACE from 1918.
