Company overview
The Mercer Automobile Company was formed in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1909. It evolved from the Walter Automobile Company and produced a range of cars including touring cars, speedsters, and toy tonneaus. The company utilized four-cylinder L-head engines throughout much of its production. In 1910, the Type 35 Raceabout was introduced, designed for racing and achieving considerable success in early races. The T-head engine powered all Mercers until 1914. Production ceased in 1924, with a final number of vehicles built reaching 12,893. In 1925, the factory was sold to Roller Bearing Co. of America and subsequent assets were transferred to Curran-McDevitt.
