who made the sunbeam?
Sunbeam cars and the Chrysler Sunbeam. The Chrysler Sunbeam starts with John Marston and Maxwell Maberly-Smith, who created a Â£130 car dubbed the Sunbeam in 1901. It had seats on each side, facing different directions, and a single-cylinder engine that didnât quite reach 3 horsepower; the wheels were unsprung and belt-driven to the carâs 18 mph top speed.
