About

Shaw Motor Company was an American automobile manufacturer that operated from 1916 to 1925. Based in Galesburg, Illinois, the company produced a range of vehicles during its existence. In 1920, Shaw introduced the Shaw 425, which was a compact car designed to be affordable and economical. It featured a four-cylinder engine and was available in various body styles, including sedans, roadsters, and coupes. The Shaw 425 was known for its reliable performance and decent fuel efficiency, which appealed to budget-conscious consumers. Shaw Motor Company aimed to provide quality vehicles at a lower price point compared to larger, more established automobile manufacturers. Despite facing competition from well-established brands, Shaw managed to gain a modest following and was recognized for offering good value for the money. However, like many small-scale automobile manufacturers of that era, Shaw faced financial difficulties due to intense competition, limited resources, and evolving market conditions. In 1925, the company ceased production and eventually went out of business.
