I ran across this gem of a photograph while trolling the net and it is a great example of how a number of European auto manufacturers found customers in the US - through independent small importers.
The photo is featured on Hermen Pol's website Morgan History Info -
a site with something for any Morgan enthusiast. Based in the
Netherlands, Pol offers a more scholarly approach to marque enthusiasm.
Any Morgan aficionado will find enough information here to waste an
afternoon or two.
Fergus Motors of New York was the official regional importer of a number of European marques with Morgan, Standard-Triumph and Alvis among them. The photo captures one of the firm's showrooms (there were three) with a rather tasty selection of cars on the street and inside the two story showroom.
See if you can identify them.
My name is Cliff Gorham, I have a 1937 Daimler DB 17-1 Saloon, that was sold by Fergus Motor Company. To the Knowledge of the Daimler car clubs this is the only one in the United States, and 1 of only 2 in the world, the 1937 was only produced OCT - Dec 1937, then changes were made to create the DB -18,
