The American Austin Car Company was an attempt to popularize the European idea of an economy car for America. In 1929, buoyed by the success of the tiny Austin 7 in Europe, Sir Herbert Austin of the Austin Motor Company of Birmingham, England traveled to America with plans to license out production. With access to East Coast ports for importing British components, the American Austin Company started in Butler, Pennsylvania at the Standard Steel Car Company.
