Du Pont Motors was founded by E. Paul du Pont and between 1919 and 1931, records indicate that some 489 total cars were built. Catering to wealthy individuals, the Town Car design had a very formal appearance, where the chauffeur sat up front out in the open to the elements.
The general idea was that it was modeled after the old regency horse drawn broughams. It ran on a 125-inch wheelbase and was powered by a straight-8 cylinder engine, producing 125 horsepower.
Included in the running gear was four-wheel hydraulic brakes along with hydraulic front and rear shock absorbers. The Great Depression is said to have been the cause for the demise of these fine, American-made coachbuilt Du Pont automobiles.
