Elcar was an assembled car built in Elkhart, Indiana. I'll look it up later and report back more, but I think they were in business for a number of years. Their production wasn;t very high. I don't remember seeing one at car shows when I was a kid in Indiana.

The building is still standing, it is the woodwind plant for Selmer USA, now called Conn-Selmer. The Bundy clarinets or flutes you played in school were made in that building. I took a tour there as part of my job in the spring of 1991.

Sadly, many of those jobs have gone to Asia too
