In the list of world automakers, American cars occupy one of the leading places. The secret lies in the large number of advantages that representatives of many American brands possess.
Why did our compatriots love the “Americans” so much:
- Affordable prices, excellent quality.
- Huge selection of all kinds of models.
- More than solid basic equipment, and almost all brands.
- The presence of a larger, reinforced bumper.
- The engine is not sensitive to the quality of domestic gasoline.
- The absence of all kinds of electronic systems and complex equipment, which significantly complicates the management and maintenance of the car.
- Excellent corrosion resistance.
- Used cars retain their impeccable qualities thanks to ideal American roads and a maintenance system.
- Excellent build quality.
- Each American car has a unique VIN code, which contains all the information about previous owners, inspection dates, number of accidents and thefts.
- High quality paintwork.
- Possibility of replacing original spare parts with similar ones from other brands.
But what about the shortcomings? Unfortunately, it could not have happened without them. However, as practice shows, it is quite possible to coexist with most of them:
- Automatic transmission. All American cars, without exception, are equipped with them. The presence of an automatic transmission does not allow the car to accelerate too quickly. However, if the car is not used as a racing car, then this drawback will not bring much inconvenience to the owner;
- weaker brakes, tires, and suspension than European cars;
- markings that are incomprehensible to Russian motorists;
- not too rich interior, low quality finishing materials.
The most famous brands include the following American car brands:
- Cadillac.
- Chevrolet.
- Chrysler.
- Didge.
- Ford.
- Jeep.
- Lincoln.
- Tesla.

American cars. The largest car market in the world - brands, interesting facts
True lovers of the automotive theme can easily distinguish an “American” from a European car. Cars from the overseas continent are distinguished by undeniable Yankee bravado, arrogance, dashing, and “coolness.” What makes the second-largest auto industry so good? A long history, commitment to tradition or the ability for effective management - we analyze American cars in detail.
Features of the American automobile industry
Despite the fact that the first car was not invented by the USA, it was America that made the passenger car a cult. The starting point of the huge automobile industry was 1896. The pioneers of the profitable business were the Durrey brothers.
The few products sold like hot cakes, which became the reason for the growth of such companies in progressive numbers. Many could not stand the competition, giving way to the future bison - Cadillac, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Ford, Buick.
Further, until 1929, the development of the American automobile industry was progressing by leaps and bounds. Famous concerns lure the best designers and ideological implementers to themselves.
But business acumen brought not only fruits, but also disappointments - the Great Depression struck. The US economy was on the verge of decline, cars ceased to be the crowning glory of the interests of ordinary citizens, and production began to decline.
Bankruptcies of automobile concerns have become commonplace.
The Dawn of Auto Manufacturing in the USA
Everything comes to an end, including depression. The period after the crisis is called the golden era of automobile manufacturing in the United States. The surviving concerns took into account their own mistake - to attract buyers only with the power and strength of the car, although the priorities for the two qualities did not decrease. Now exterior and interior designers are involved in the work. Iconic car brands appear:
- Dodge Challenger.
- Lincoln Continental.
- Ford Mustang.
- Chevrolet Corvette.
- Cadillac Eldorado and others.
What are these American cars comparable to? If you remember what the country has given to the world - cheap oil, populism, an incessant show + good quality roads to everything, the idea of the automobile industry is clear - wide, powerful models, bright colors, chic shine, almost burlesque.
Post-war era
For the United States, in particular for the auto industry, there were no consequences of the war comparable to the losses of the USSR and even Europe, because there were no hostilities on the territory of the country. Car factories worked at full capacity, producing not only passenger cars, but also products for the allies - agricultural machinery, trucks, and defensive-offensive complexes.
After the war, the emergence of new trends in passenger cars. Muscle-cars and Pony-Cars have won the favor of American taxpayers. American cars of this class had common small bodies and chassis of varying power. Larger and smaller - respectively.
Cars of America today
In 1970, the auto industry of the overseas continent again suffered losses. The outbreak of the oil crisis bankrupts numerous factories, causing the takeover of small companies by successful auto industries.
But the “bison” of the automotive industry are not in the best position – the global automotive industry is gaining momentum. The world has already appreciated the advantages of Japanese developments, German reliability, and Korean pedantry.
Subsequently, Ford, which bought shares in Mazda, Chrysler and General Motors, managed to stay afloat. But the big players are now increasingly losing ground to the Asian auto industry.
American car brands
Car emblems are an interesting question. Logos have their own history, interesting facts about their appearance. US cars can be divided into liquidated and existing. Details:
Existing US vehicles
- Buick. The oldest American brand is, in fact, the surname of an aristocratic family in Scotland - an ancient but impoverished family. The great inventor David Buick is the pride and only known member of the clan. According to tradition, all coats of arms and inscriptions were made on copper tablets. Since then, the logo has been modified several dozen times, but has always remained recognizable - three shields inside a circle. They symbolize the three models of the brand.
The merger of Buick and General Motors occurred at the beginning of the last century - the owner of the name completely transferred the rights to it to the then leading manufacturer of passenger cars. To this day, the car brand remains in demand.
The latest Buick Avista concept car was unveiled at the Detroit site in 2016. Its feature is a biturmotor.
- Cadillac. The American ability to buy profitable names worked on the French family coat of arms de La Motte Cadillac - the colors of the family surrounded by a laurel wreath. The emergence of American Detroit is associated with this brand. This brand of car in the USA is known to presidents, celebrities, kings of the underworld and other odious people - their preference was given to Cadillac.
Today, Cadillac is a thriving, successful brand, constantly participating in all kinds of shows. For example, in 2016 the world saw the brand’s flagship, the Cadillac Escala. The Paris show in 2017 will present the Cadillac CTS business class sedan. And November of the same year in the United Arab Emirates will be marked by the premiere of the XT5 crossover.
- Chevrolet. The logo has several legends about its origin. The first is an elegant bow tie, the second is a pattern of wallpaper from a hotel, the third is an ornament of newspaper pages. In any case, the rights to it belong to the French racer Louis Joseph. According to American tradition, the rights to the brand were bought by the Vanderbilt clan with a bonus for the owner - to name a car from the USA after him.
Today the name Chevrolet is known far beyond America. Traditionally, the brand produces pickup trucks and crossovers to the masses. Fewer sedans and hatchbacks. The following models are presented for consideration in 2017–2018: Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback with five doors, Chevrolet Trax, Chevrolet Traverse and Chevrolet Equinox crossovers, Chevrolet Malibu sedan. Chic, huge and sparkling - the true creations of the country.
- Ford. The laconic sign with the inscription in the center of the blue oval has not changed throughout the history of the brand. The concern is one of the few that survived the financial cataclysms of the country, but remained faithful to the principles of the founder. The company is versatile - in addition to affordable passenger cars (Henry Ford's dream), it produces agricultural machinery and trucks. Accordingly, he always participates in exhibitions and presentations. Today, Ford is the best-selling car brand in America and other countries.
Nowadays, the concern is not only developing its own production and trying not to deviate from the rule of making high-quality cars while reducing costs, but is also successfully expanding its spheres of influence.
So, recently, Ford became the owner of part of the shares of Kia Motors and Mazda. In fact, this means the participation of talented designers in the development of the cars of the future.
The most famous cars from Ford are the Explorer, Mondeo, and Kuga crossovers.
- Dodge. The company was founded at the beginning of the last century and existed as an independent brand for almost 30 years. Previously, the logo was a medal with a six-pointed star formed by two triangles and the liters D&B. The merger with Chrysler changed the logo. Previously, these were the outlines of a ram's head. Now the two slanted red lines also symbolize the spirit of the sports car.
Traditionally, the concern's products are pickup trucks and SUVs. However, 2013 introduced the world to a car that was more conceptual than its own logo – the Dodge VIPER sports car. The machine is relatively safe, unlike previous developments.
Coda and Global Electric Motorcars. In an era of respect for the environment and, naturally, receiving dividends on this issue, America could not help but stand on par with its competitors and release a number of electric vehicles.
The Coda and Global Electric Motorcars brands are industry pioneers. The logos are simple and already recognizable - inscriptions in the center of the circles.
A wide range of models, promising design, investor interest - the future of electric cars is completely certain.
Liquidated or little-known production
- Chrysler. The emblem of cars under the Chrysler brand has similar features to the Aston Martin logo - wings, symbolizing swiftness and take-off. The appearance of the sign has changed little since 1924, when founder Walter Chrysler's dreams of owning his own cars began to come true. The engineering education and experience of the vice president of GM allowed him to give his dream a chance. The company's fame and productivity increases with the rebranding of Dodge and Fiat.
The current state of affairs is that the American auto industry market is overcrowded. Chrysler models ceased production in 2000. Now elements of the models are found in Italian Fiats, whose right to produce replicas has not been disputed since the purchase of the brand.
- GMC – General Motors. A giant of the American auto industry. The emblem is laconically simple - red letters framed in silver - and has remained unchanged since the organization of the concern. The company's history is one of true democracy in action. In 1902, all small automobile production units united under the auspices of the brand. All the time, the list of models is replenished not only with passenger cars, but also with highly specialized vehicles. Why is the brand in the “liquidated” category?
Unfortunately, troubles for the automotive giant began in 2008, amid the oil crisis. For some time the company managed to stay afloat and even make a profit.
However, competition gradually turned the independent brand into a conglomerate. The problems were added by lawsuits against the company's management regarding the deaths of car owners due to ignition faults, which continue to this day.
Despite the confiscation of the batches, the brand's reputation was damaged.
- Fisker. A relatively young name in the American auto industry. The copyright holder of the brand was the design engineer Henrik Fisker. Before designing his own cars, the ambitious automobile designer was the designer of the BMW Z07. The sports car made a proper impression in Japan, at the Tokyo show. The designer immediately received several tempting offers from other concerns, however, he chose the Ford Corporation. In 2005, Henrik founded his own company and the corresponding logo - it will definitely be remembered for its blue-orange color combination with silver accessories.
Until 2013, the company competed with such greats as Ferrari and Bugatti. However, the brand went bankrupt. This was facilitated by the fact that a competent designer pursued the wrong policy for the development of other parts of the car. The quality of the cars suffered. The closure of the trademark happened during the next development of the car brand – Fisker Karma.
- Excalibur. Naturally, the brand's symbol was a sword framed with a chrome-plated circle. The company specialized in producing replicas of retro cars. Even now, on the roads of America you can find real antiques on the outside and Mustangs on the inside - the idea belongs to designer Brooks Stevens. Inspiration came to the master during his student years after seeing a Mercedes-Benz SS. The first creation was named Excalibur. Now the company only services previously produced cars. Such cars are in demand among private collectors.
- The list of little-known American auto industry is crowned by the InternationalHarvester brand. Logo – 2 letters in red and black – H and I. The manufacturer of agricultural machinery is a merger of two companies that produce tractors and trucks. Together, the owners organized a concern that existed until 1984. The success of the company can be explained simply - before and after the war, the country needed to be fed, which could not be done without the appropriate equipment. However, debts and competition forced the owners to sell the brand and production was officially discontinued in 1985.
The American auto industry is interesting and rich in history. Some brands and concerns deserve separate books written.

All about car brands from the USA. American car brands icons
America is the main player in the global car market. It was the American Henry Ford who is considered the founder of the US automobile industry, which made vehicles accessible to mass consumers. For more than a century of history, American car brands have gained worldwide popularity and still firmly hold leading positions in the annual TOP ratings.
History of car brands from the USA
Due to its vast territory, America needed to develop its own automobile industrial complex. The first experiments to create fast land transport in the United States began at the end of the 19th century. By 1913, the legendary industrialist Henry Ford launched mass production of cars for the first time in the world, simultaneously producing 13 completely identical cars of the same model by hand.
The market economy in 1920s America offered a wide range of opportunities for entrepreneurs. Around these years, numerous automobile construction companies were opened, the number of which quickly exceeded 1.5 thousand.
Almost every significant city in the United States had its own plant for the development, assembly and production of cars. Most enterprises could not withstand the competition and closed or joined forces in the struggle for survival.
Through a merger, by the middle of the last century, three main players emerged as absolute leaders: Ford Motors, Chrysler and General Motors.
It is noteworthy that during the Second World War, the European automobile industry began to decline, but American factories operated at full capacity and were able to significantly increase income by producing equipment for military needs. The famous Jeep and Dodge were produced for the army. It was on their basis that popular large-sized and powerful off-road vehicles were subsequently developed.
Today, American car brands are among the top three, periodically competing with Japanese, German and Chinese manufacturers. It is in America that numerous automakers successfully operate, together making up a powerful global empire for the production of cars.
A brief overview of American car brands
Cars made in the USA are distinguished by their impressive size and spacious interiors.
Unfortunately, focusing on the mass foreign consumer, cars of American brands have lost their individuality, reducing the size of the engine and body. But any vehicle is characterized by ease of operation, high technical characteristics and reliability.
List of famous American car brands with names and icons

It is noteworthy that, unlike most car manufacturers, the company was named not after the surname of the founder, but in honor of the French explorer Cadillac, who stood at the origins of the city of Detroit, and his family coat of arms was directly applied to the emblem.
It was Cadillac engineers who came up with the idea to equip the car with air conditioning and synchronize electrical systems.
Chevrolet
An economically independent branch of the automaker. It is the best-selling car brand in the United States. For several decades, it has held 4th place in the TOP ranking, producing at least 4 million vehicles per year.

Jeep
The auto company was founded in 1941 for military needs. The name of the brand comes from the phrase General Purpose, literally meaning “General Purpose”.

All-terrain vehicles are available in various configurations and are renowned for the highest degree of reliability and safety. The model range includes compact crossovers, mid-size, large-size, premium comfortable or utilitarian SUVs, designed for buyers of any price category.

Today, Dodge minivans, SUVs and sports cars conquer the roads in many countries around the world.
Plymouth
A disbanded division of the corporation. It was founded in 1928 by Walter Chrysler himself. A stylized blue ship was used as an icon, which meant hope for a long voyage. The Plymouth brand produced minivans and cars that were popular in the United States. The division has currently been abolished.
Currently, the corporation is under the control of the Italian concern Fiat.
Other American car brands
Other popular brands include Hammer, Bantam, Eagle, Harley-Davidson, Panoz, Paterbilt, Pontiac, Tesla and Wyllis. All American brands of cars and motorcycles have a recognizable design and require virtually no introduction. One mention of the brand is a guarantee of quality and reliability.

American car brands: detailed list with photos
One of the largest sectors of the American market is the automobile industry. This was facilitated by more than a century of development history of this segment. It was at Henry Ford's North American enterprises that they managed to introduce the popular model of assembly line assembly, which ensured the mass production and availability of cars. Since then, the pace in this area has only increased.
Thanks to worldwide globalization, the list of American car brands is expanding due to various acquisitions of foreign concerns. Also, the introduction of new technologies, for example, the formation of the electric vehicle segment, ensures the creation of new companies.
Leading American auto companies
In the modern American automobile market, three popular companies dominate and set the standards:
- General Motors;
- Ford;
- Chrysler.
These emblems are well known not only within their own country, but also far beyond their borders due to active expansion on all continents.
The legendary Ford, in addition to owning the Mercury and Lincoln brands, has its own financial stake in Mazda, where it actively delves into the policies of the Japanese auto giant. General Motors is also no stranger to acquisitions and mergers, as evidenced by its ownership of the Chevrolet , Cadillac and Buick . GM also owns certain revenues from the Italian auto industry.
Dodge and Jeep wished to unite under the Chrysler logo , which continue to be produced and improved under their symbols.
Plymouth also merged with the concern, dissolving into the Chrysler giant. One of Chrysler's largest global partners is Daimler.
Largely thanks to the latter, American car brands are popularized on the European continent.
Some experts note that due to the globalization of markets, the American auto industry is losing its individuality, moving into faceless universality. However, true fans of the “Americans” continue to trust the taste and quality of overseas producers.
Cadillac
The badges on the cars of this brand are part of North American automotive history.
