Moon Motor Co.

Moon Motor Car (1905 - 1930) was a United States automobile company that was based in St. Louis, Missouri. The company had a venerable reputation among the buying public, as it was known for fully assembled, easily affordable mid-level cars using high-quality parts. Often this meant the manufacturing process required more human intervention, leading to operating losses.

The company was founded by carriage maker Joseph W. Moon.[1] Moon produced both cars and trucks.[1] Moon Motor's peak production year was 1925 when the company produced 10,271 vehicles.[1]

History[edit source]

In addition to the Moon name, Moons were sold under the Hol-Tan name in 1908. Moon produced the Diana via its subsidiary the Diana Motors Company in 1925 - 1928. Another subsidiary produced the Windsor in 1929-1930.

The firm also produced a Cotton picker built under contract from the American Cottonpicker Corporation.[2]

Beginning in 1924, Moon was increasingly unable to meet dealership orders. The company went out of business at the start of the Great Depression; the Moon factory was purchased by Ruxton automobile.

Moon automobiles are on display at the Missouri History Museum and Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri. The amusement park Six Flags St. Louis also features a ride using the Moon automobile body.

Tue, 23 Feb 2010

Pagani are taking Zonda Cinque Roadster #4 to Geneva Most of the stories we’ve had recently on Pagani have been on the Pagani C9, which will be revealed in September once Horacio Pagani has decided what to call it. But we’d have a small bet on the Pagani Fangio. But we mustn’t forget the the Pagani Zonda is still with us and that the latest iteration of that is the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
