Compiling lists about the automotive genesis is an imprecise art. There is no single source of information for the American automobiles progression.
Some reference works are fairly complete regarding makes, manufacturers, cities and dates.
These same works may miss some instances for which a manufacturer's model is built in a plant other than that company's main places of business. The work is further compounded by list compilers who chose to include instances where only one car was made by an individual whether or not they planned to proceed to manufacture it in quantity. In Indiana's case, for every one vehicle achieving production about two announcements of intent to manufacture or build a prototype were proclaimed. Early lists about the actual number of automobiles made in the United States started at 1,500 and then progressed to about 2,500. Recent lists approach around 3,000.
