The Bush was a mail-order car made by the Bush Motor Company of Chicago from 1916 to 1925. John H. Bush sent out brochures advertising the Bush and requesting payment in advance for the delivery of a vehicle. When an order was received, it was forwarded along with the customer's payment to an existing manufacturer who was willing to build the car, such as Huffman Crow-Elkhart, or Piedmont. A Bush nameplate was attached to a vehicle on the production line, and it was delivered directly to the customer. All Bush cars were open touring models, powered by either Lycoming or Continental 4- and 6-cylinder engines.
