The Locomobile Company of America manufactured automobiles from 1899 and ended in 1929 after the failure of the parent company Durant Motors.

The Schuman Carriage company introduced automobiles to Hawaii and sold them in its dealerships for years. The long-time Kamaaina company closed in 2004, after serving Hawaii's residents for 111 years.
