The Climber Motor Corporation hired George Schoeneck as their Chief Engineer. Schoeneck had previously been involved with the Owen-Schoeneck and Geneva automobiles.[1]
Production started in 1919 with two models - the 4-cylinder Model K and the 6-cylinder Model S. Tourer, roadster and coupe body styles were offered for both models. Prices ranged from $1385 to $2400 for the Model K, and from $2250 to $3250 for the Model S.[2]
Lack of parts and finance led to the company being sold in mid-1924.[2] The New Climber Company built approximately 200 cars from parts that were available, and then the business was wound up.[2]
