During the early years of automobile exploration and production, hundreds of automakers attempted to build a successful product. One such attempt was from C.M. Blomstrom, of Detroit, Michigan. He was one of the early pioneers of automobiles that never truly found success. In 1904, he introduced his Queen automobile. Initially, it was a one-cylinder, eight-horsepower runabout, with two- and four-cylinder models being added to the lineup a year later.

At the close of 1906, the Blomstrom Company merged with the DeLuxe Motor Car Company. By August of 1909, with less than 100 'De Luxes' created, the company and all of its assets were sold to Everett-Metzger-Glanders.

During the production lifespan of the Queen automobile, ranging from 1902 through 1906, nearly 1500 examples were created.
