U.S. Long Distance
Jersey City, NJ, USA
The U.S. Long Distance Automobile Company was founded at Jersey City, New Jersey, early in 1900. Its founders, Lewis Nixon, Lt. John C. Fremont and D.J. Newland, initially built marine engines. In April 1901 they introduced the Long Distance automobile, designed by C.C. Riotte.
Engines of one, two or three cylinders were available, and five models, designated Types A to E (the latter a delivery wagon), priced from $1,000 to $2,000. In January 1904, however, the company name was changed to Standard Motor Construction Company, and a larger car called "Standard" was produced in the old factory through 1905.
