Description Colorized photo from 1916Original title: The Hackett Motor Car Co. Photographer: National Photo CompanyLocation: 615 Hupp Ave, Jackson MII don't know if this is the shortest run of a car company, but it could be. This is Hackett Motor Car Co. In 1916, Mansell Hackett purchased the Argo Motor Co., of Jackson, MI, maker of the Argo Cyclecar. His business model was to buy up companies going out of business, and then doing something with them. He created the Hackett Motor Car Co, and build the American automobile called the Hackett.Originally located in Jackson, Michigan, the company produced a line of touring cars and roadsters. Interestingly, they didn't make their own parts. Instead they used parts made by other auto companies, and sort of built a hybrid between those parts. (I wonder if this is where the term 'hack job' came from?)In 1918, he wasn't able to obtain parts, but felt it was a good time to move, they went to Grand Rapids, MI. When they opened in 1919, they were able to resume again. They made 12 cars a week, but the company finally failed in 1919. The company lasted only 3 years and made a total of 118 cars. They are very hard to find today.Then one day, a person named David Buick bought the small company, and they built his new Loraine Car, he was the builder of the Buick car. After that Hackett went back to what he was doing before this, buying up defunct businesses again.Today this building does still exist. It was used as a warehouse for a number of years. And recently they decided to turn it into a Hackett car museum.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
