Scope and content
In June of 1926, two women pose in a new Jordan automobile. Photograph ordered by the Jordan Sales Co. The Jordan Motor Co. assembled cars from 1916-1932, using parts from other manufacturers. The Jordan Co. was able only to paint the body, attach it to the chassis and outfit the passenger interior, but the resulting Jordan automobile was elegant and stylish. For example, while most cars in the 1920's were black, the Jordan automobiles came in a choice of 3 shades of red, gray, green, bronze, blue or black. The Jordan Co. was most famous for its evocative advertising, extolling the life style of a Jordan owner, not the car itself. The car and the advertising appealed highly to women. (WSHS)
