I got to thinking about how many different car brands that were being made and sold when I was a lot younger, born in 1945. I started recognizing different brands around 1949 or 1950 when my parent bought a used 1948 Oldsmobile.
Add to my list if you know of others I haven't listed and or forgot about or never knew of please up
Alfa Romero
Buick
Cadillac
Chrysler
Chevrolet
De Soto
Dodge
Edsel
Hillman
Jaguar
Ford
Lincoln
Mercury
Plymouth
Rolls Royce
Renault
Star (Made in the 1920-1930)
Simca
Volkswagen
Peugeot
Volvo
These are the ones I can think of now, how about you work


(Edited later) Sears, Vauxhall, Triumph(SP? Range Rover, Land Rover (maybe the same as Range Rover) Henry J, Nash, Fraser, Rambler

Rickenbacher. Car company started by the WW1 ace.
Seriously though, there have been so many car and truck companies over the years that have gone out of business the number is almost countless.
Just click in the search function on Hemmings and try to count the number of car companies that they have listed.

Red Barns museum here in Michigan has a real eclectic assemblage of cars that many have never heard of. The number of companies that were located in Michigan alone is amazing.

A12 was the first to mention Hudson. Above is a photo of my mother (now 81) loading her rifle with the family Hudson in the background. You can see "Hudson" on the hub cap. I believe it to be a 1936 "Series 64" model of some type.

none are known to exist, however, Bill McCracken [whom i know quite well] obtained the only known set of blueprints and crafted a replica, which is now proudly displayed in our history museum.
he is now close to 100yrs old, still quite active, and sharp as a tack ! bow
