Babcock of Watertown, NY was a manufacturer of carriages for about 60 years before they opened an automotive division in 1908. Their first vehicle, the Model A, was tested for a year in the inclement weather of upstate New York, and manufacture began after it survived. Babcock ceased production of automobiles in 1913 and switched to auto bodies, remaining in business to become a major manufacturer of ambulance bodies during World War I. This 7-passenger Model H may be among the first four-door models Babcock produced.
