Brewster History
The "House of Brewster and Company" began in 1810 as a builder of high-end carriages. From 1915 to 1925 it constructed a series of elegant, extremely expensive automobiles at its plant in Long Island, NY. The company also produced coachwork for Rolls-Royce and became part of the Rolls-Royce of America operation in 1926. When Rolls closed its American plant in 1934, Brewster continued making cars for two more years. The new cars used chassis from other car manufacturers building attractive but more affordable automobiles.
The Brewster assets were acquired by Inskip Coachbuilder after Rolls-Royce closed down the Brewster operations.
