The Kensington Automobile Company was a veteran-era automobile company that operated from 1899 to 1904 in Buffalo, New York.

History

In August 1899, the Kensington Bicycle Company ceased bicycle production to venture into automobile manufacturing. They introduced a small electric car in 1900, which was later accompanied by a steam runabout in 1901. In 1902, a two-cylinder gasoline automobile was introduced and continued to be produced until 1904. Unfortunately, the company faced failure in 1904.
