Maine Motors is an American automobile company, which evolved from a car workshop in south Iowa, in 1951. The workshop that predated the car company was opened in 1932 by Bill Powell, who mainly modified cars and turned them into hot rods, and as his business grew, he could start designing his first parts. After the Pearl Harbor attack, his workshop was given the job of designing engines for light military vehicles.
It was during that time that Powell learned all about designing and engineering, and, after the end of the war, in 1947, he started selling custom engines on request. The growing hot rod racing, along with the repair orders he received, allowed him to hire a bunch of engineers and, in 1951, buy the first factory.
Since that moment, Maine motors mainly centered in luxury cars, and later during the 60s, muscle cars as well. They’ve entered the mid-sized and compact (in American standards) market.
