1908. Rainier. The Rainier automobile was made in the U.S. from 1905 - 1911. The company began as the Rainier Company and manufactured in Elyria, Ohio from 1905 - 1907. Rainier was established to build a high-power four-cylinder touring car. It added a larger factory in Saginaw, Michigan but went broke in the 1907 panic. The company was reorganized as the Rainier Motor Car Company and manufacturing was done only in Saginaw from 1907 - 1911. The first Rainier was a 22/28hp touring car. In 1906 it had progressed to a 30/35hp 4-cylinder engine. By 1908, the range had increased to three body types, from a $4,200 model to a landaulet priced at $5,800, and this 'Pullman of Motor Cars' was guaranteed to be free of repairs for one year. Unfortunately, the Rainier lacked the marquee reputation of other cars in its class, like the Locomobile and Pierce-Arrow, and it failed to find success in the luxury field. In 1911, four body types were built on a chassis with a 10 ft. wheelbase. The engine was a 45/50hp 4-cylinder unit with a 4-speed transmission. In 1912, the Rainier was succeeded by the Marquette.
