Amherst (automobile)
The Amherst was a Canadian automobile manufactured in Amherstburg in 1911. A distinctive feature of the car was a demountable body that could be fitted behind the front seats to convert the car into a light truck.[1][2]
The car was financed by backers in Detroit, Michigan, but they withdrew their support before production commenced.[3] Only three cars were built before the company failed.[1]
