Shay Motors Corporation
Automobile company
Shay Motors Corporation was an automobile company founded by Harry J. Shay in February 1978 as the Model A & Model T Motor Car Reproduction Corporation.[1] Harry Shay arranged with Ford Motor Company to build a limited run, modern-day reproduction of the Ford Model A Roadster, with a rumble seat, that was to be sold through the network of Ford Automobile Dealers and built in Battle Creek, Michigan.[2] It was hoped that displaying the vehicles in Ford dealer showrooms would increase potential customer visits and sales.[3]
