In 1929, New Era Motors of New York announced the arrival of the Ruxton Automobile to compete with the likes of Cord. Archie Andrews, a financier and a director at Hupp Motor Corporation, championed the new brand. Production began in June 1930 at both the Moon and Kissel auto factories.
Ruxtons were motivated by a 100 horsepower, 4.4-liter, straight-eight Continental engine, connected to a three-speed manual front-drive transaxle. Features included deDion front suspension, leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic brakes on a 130-inch wheelbase. Ruxtons are low, rakish, and without running boards.
It is fully restored and meticulously maintained. The car has received several accolades, among them a perfect score from the Antique Automobile Club of America and third place at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2005. This is one of four known.
