Premier Automotive Group - Lore & Designs

[ac09]

Premier Automotive Group is an American automotive multinational manufacturing company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. The group is most known for their two main brands; Premier Automotive Corporation and Horizon Autocars.

Premier Automotive Group also holds many defense contracts with the U.S. Military regarding the construction of the Marauder IFV, F-35 and many military surplus trucks. They also previously developed the F-15 for the U.S. Air Force.

Premier Automotive Corporation

Premier Automotive Corporation is the flagship marque and largest-selling manufacturer within Premier Automotive Group. Founded in 1922, Premier Automotive Corporation is America’s leading seller of safe, sensible and comfortable transportation at a fair price.

Throughout much of its history, Premier occupied an unusual position in the American automotive market, offering vehicles that emphasized comfort, safety, and mechanical durability without competing directly with established luxury manufacturers.

Despite considerable changes in its products, technology, and market position, Premier has continued to build upon the principles that gradually emerged during its formative decades: providing comfortable, capable, and dependable automobiles without making luxury an absolute prerequisite.

Premier Automotive Corporation: Confidence comes standard.

Horizon Autocars

Horizon Autocars is the economy marque and a close second to Premier in sales within Premier Automotive Group. Founded in 1977 in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, Premier acquired Horizon and helped fund, engineer and produce the Trace, Horizon’s oldest running model name.

As of 2026, Horizon is America’s leader in cheap and reliable transportation that never leaves owners stranded. Horizon emphasizes economy and reliability above all else. And since their founding in 1977, they have never underdelivered on that promise.

Horizon Autocars. Look ahead. Drive Horizon.

I find it funny that Premier Automotive Group was actually a real thing Premier Automotive Group - Wikipedia

Hopefully it doesn’t fall victim to the same problems as its real-life namesake.

1973-74 PREMIER EUDORA RP1900 ce

For the everyday drive… and the extraordinary driver.

THE BRIEF FROM MY POINT-OF-VIEW

I have finally decided to let Premier branch out with the introduction of this car today! This time, to the UK car market. The Eudora RP1900 ce was made specifically to go against the Ford Escort RS2000 and RS1600 in the Mintex Dales Rally and also the Tour of Britain. I did quite like making this since it filled an itch I didn’t even know I had, which was making a competitor to the Escort surprisingly. Nevertheless, this car has a good sporting character, gets a reasonable time around the Automation Test Track and for some reason my game thinks this can do a 0-60 in sub-6 second times which is quite frankly stupid, so I will not include that at all. With all of my rambling out of the way, enjoy the rest of this car :))

PREMIER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE EUDORA

Although Premier Automotive Corporation originated in the United States, its European presence had long preceded the Eudora. Britain became one of its principal overseas markets, alongside an established continental business across Europe.
Premier operated factories in Germany before withdrawing following the remilitarization of the Rhineland. Concerned about prospects of war, the company’s leadership ended new-car sales and closed German operations. Licensed local suppliers subsequently helped maintain the remaining cars.
After the Second World War, Premier would return to German via the western occupied zones, rebuilding their manufacturing and sales presence. The Eudora emerged from this broader history of producing and selling cars for their European clientele.

The Eudora range was conceived as attainable sporty motoring in a compact coupe body. The RP1900 ce took that foundation in a significantly stronger direction, with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine of approximately 1.9 liters, or 116 cubic inches.
The Eudora’s intended competitors included the Ford Escort RS2000 and RS1600. The Tour of Britain and Mintex Dales Rally provided the main competitive focus behind its development; the Eudora needed to offer useful performance in a small, manageable package.
Its position at the top of the Eudora price range would reflect such a purpose. This was the version for buyers who wanted their everyday car to offer something significantly more than just being a daily driver to the south of Birmingham.

The broad grille surround and horizontal slats establish a visual relationship with Premier’s larger American vehicles. Two round headlights and smaller inboard turn signals adapt the Premier family identity to the Eudora’s lighter, narrower body.
Sporting details reward closer inspection. Foglights sit beneath the split front bumpers, a shallow air dam defines the lower nose, and a rather modest lip spoiler follows the trailing edge of the trunklid. Standard gunmetal wheel centers contrast with bright rims, while a single exhaust outlet completes the restrained treatment of the Eudora’s design language.
The small front-wing emblem identifies the model without dominating the bodywork. At the rear, widely spaced PREMIER lettering reinforces the connection to the parent marque.

The lowercase “ce” suffix seen on the rear badging and fender badging stands for Cipher Edition. Its understated presentation helped make the actual meaning a rather obscure detail within Premier’s cult following.
