The 1910 Pratt Elkhart touring car was produced by Elkhart Carriage & Harness Mfg. Co.

The company was founded by Vermont-born businessman Frederick B. Pratt. His first major success was just prior to The Civil War when he was engaged in the dry-goods business.

After a series of ventures, including working for his uncle's hardware business, in 1873 Pratt ~ showing his entrepreneurship and genius ~ and his oldest son William founded F.B. Pratt & Son and would soon begin manufacturing buggies.

After years of success with them, Pratt turned his attention to "motorized" buggies when, in 1906, his company manufactured two prototypes.

In 1909, Pratt & Son had their first commercial product with an air-cooled, 2-cyliner and self-described "auto buggy" that cost $430. Based on various inflation adjusters that only go back to 1913, the inflation-adjusted (1913) cost would approximately $12,349 in early June 2023.

The 1910 model came in three models: touring car, roadster, and tonneau.

In 1915, the company's name of Pratt-Elkhart was changed to Pratt Motor Car Co. but with a car brand name of Pratt. In 1916, the car brand name was changed to the legendary Elcar.

In 1922, this storied company ceased being Pratt-family owned when it was sold. The Pratt company ceased operating in 1936 in the midst of The Great Depression.
