Overview
The president was J. Bishop a man described as a "capitalist of Wyandotte" Temporary offices were at 410 Scherer Building in Detroit. The company would produce various models. A delivery car would be the most affordable at $985, a four passenger car for $1400, and a six passenger limousine for $1600. Range was up to 75 miles per charge. A feature on Belmont's was a charger that could be installed directly to the car so that the driver did not need to go to a garage to charge. The feature cost $150.
