Bour-Davis

Bour-Davis was an American automobile manufactured from 1915 until 1922. Production of the Bour-Davis was originally in Detroit, Michigan. The car used six-cylinder Continental engines. In 1917, this company failed, but production was re-established in Shreveport, Louisiana, and they were advertised as being made there as late as 1920, [Clymer, Floyd. "Treasury of Early American Automobiles, 1877-1925" (New York: Bonanza Books, 1950), p.192.] when they offered offered five- and seven-passenger tourers and a two-seat roadster. [Clymer, p.192.]

In 1918, the Shadburne Brothers Company in Frankfort, Indiana was producing the cars.
