Sampson (automobile)

The Sampson was an early automobile manufactured by the Alden Sampson Manufacturing Company of Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1904. It was based on the 1903 Moyea automobile for which the Alden Sampson Company had built the chassis. The Sampson was built again in 1911 by United States Motors, Alden Sampson Division, in Detroit, Michigan.

The 1904 Sampson had a 4 cylinder 18hp engine with a 4 speed sliding gear transmission with two chains to drive the rear wheels. The 1911 Sampson, called the Sampson 35, had a 4 cylinder 35hp engine. This model was a four door, five seater that was advertised as having 17 coats of paint. The car was sold for $1,250.00.
