In 1896, a designer George J. Altham from
Fall River,
Massachusetts,
United States, after years of work, had made a
petrol engine. In August 1897, he installed it in a vehicle for testing purposes. In 1898, Altham International Motor Car Company was established, with its headquarters in
Boston,
Massachusetts,
United States. By October 1898, the working prototype was sufficiently developed, and the commercial production of the Altham car had begun. The manufacturing factory was located in
Fall River, Massachusetts, United States. The production ended in 1899, with only a few vehicles being built overall. == Specifications ==
