Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Jordan Motor Car Company opened its doors on the 5th of April 1916 within the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Construction began on that date and finished just seven weeks later at a plant located along the Nickel Plate Railroad tracks.
Jordan automobiles utilized Continental engines while Timken axles supported the chassis throughout production. The company used straight-six engines for Series F and Series M models before introducing eight-cylinder Line Eight and Great Line Eight models in 1926.
Total production numbers remain unclear with some sources listing over 100,000 units while other sources list production as low as 30,000 vehicles. Records indicate annual figures rose from 1,788 units sold in 1917 to a peak of 8,913 units in 1921 before dropping sharply to only 263 cars in 1931.
Production ceased in 1931 due to personal problems besetting Ned Jordan following significant financial drain from the Little Custom luxury compact introduced in 1927. Bankers took over the firm leaving Ned Jordan as just the titular head after he and his wife began divesting their interests in 1928.
The Jordan Motor Car Preservation Association works to keep these automobiles intact for future generations alongside the Jordan Register which serves as another resource for owners and enthusiasts. Museums like the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum display examples such as a 1920 Playboy model while researchers cite Floyd Clymer's Treasury of Early American Automobiles published in 1950 for detailed specifications.
