The Knox Automobile Company was a manufacturer of automobiles in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States, between 1900 and 1914. Knox also built trucks and farm tractors until 1924. They are notable for building the very first modern fire engine in 1905.

 

The company was established by Henry Austin Knox and partner Elihu H Cutler in 1900, setting up in a former Watch Company, factory. The Knox Model A was a three-wheel runabout with a 5-hp one-cylinder air-cooled engine of which 15 were built in the companies first year In 1902 a four-wheel runabout and a 8-hp two-cylinder engine joined the model line-up. Early cars were called Knoxmobile with the Waterless Knox being used from 1903 with a slogan of The Car That Never Drinks.

 

In late 1904 Harry Knox left the company over a disagreement on policy with Elihu Cutler. Harry Knox set-up a new business across town to build the Atlas air-cooled car. By 1912 Knox sales were slipping and a receiver was called in. The last Knox automobiles were built in 1914 and Knox was declared bankrupt in 1915. Knox reorganized as the Knox Motors Corporation and continued to build tractors and trucks until 1924
