Cartercar had 3 homes before its demise in 1915.  The first location was in Jackson Michigan, the second was in Detroit and the final location was Pontiac (pictured).  The company was bought by GM in 1909 and the Cartercar was discontinued in 1915.  GM used the Pontiac factory to build Oaklands which were deemed a more desirable product.

Flanders and E-M-F.

Walter Flanders had his hands on many different companies.  He started out selling tools to and advising Henry Ford.  Before not to long he was working for Ford full time. He was instrumental in increasing sales and streamlining production.  He moved on to form the E-M-F car company with William Metzger and Barney Everitt.  From there he took control of Studebaker.  The Flanders Manufacturing Company was born on January 10, 1911.  This company made the Flanders 4 motorcycle and supplied many parts for Studebaker cars.

The Flanders factory became the Wilson foundry sometime after 1912.   The company moved to Detroit and went bankrupt in 1914
