Corbitt

Founded in 1913 by Richard Corbitt, the Corbitt Company evolved from its origins in crafting horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles. The firm achieved prominence by manufacturing robust trucks, a significant number of which served with the United States Army. Around 1949, Corbitt broadened its production to include a line of agricultural tractors, many of which were shipped for use in South American markets. Sadly, the enterprise faltered shortly following Mr. Corbitt’s departure from the business in 1952.
