Briscoe Motor Company, produced in the United States from 1914 to 1921, was an automobile manufacturer founded by industrialist Benjamin Briscoe and based in Jackson, Michigan. The company became known for affordable passenger cars powered primarily by four-cylinder engines, including touring cars, roadsters, and sedans aimed at the growing mass market of the 1910s. Briscoe gained recognition for efficient production methods and competitive pricing, helping it become one of the more successful independent automakers of its era. Characterized by practical engineering, accessibility, and reliable transportation, the brand ceased operations in 1921 during the postwar downturn that affected many early American automobile manufacturers.
