Colonial (Shaw automobile)
- Colonial (Shaw automobile)
-
The Colonial was an American automobile which was manufactured from 1920 until 1921.
Built in Chicago, Illinois, the car was nothing more than a Shaw with the emblem switched; it was, however, treated as an entirely separate marque. In 1921 the company returned to using the name "Shaw" for its vehicles; soon thereafter, the entire operation was sold to the Yellow Cab company, which renamed it "Ambassador".
