*** The White Motor Company was an American automobile and truck manufacturer from 1900 until 1980. The company also produced bicycles, roller skates, automatic lathes, and sewing machines. Before World War II the company was based in Cleveland, Ohio.
The White Motor Company ended car production after WWI and began producing trucks. From the 1950's until 1975, White Motors distributed Freightliner trucks. By 1980, White was insolvent and Volvo AB acquired the US assets of the company in 1981 producing trucks as White and Autocar through the 1980's. In 2000, the trademark was withdrawn from the market.
