The Patterson-Greenfield company was and remains the only Black American-owned car company.
Frederick Douglas Patterson returned to Greenfield to join his father in his carriage business, which became C.R. Patterson and Sons. He saw opportunity in the new horseless carriages, and converted the company in the early 1900s to manufacture automobiles, making 150 of them. Later he shifted to making buses and trucks, and renamed his company as Greenfield Bus Body Company. After Patterson's death in 1932, his son kept the business going through much of the Great Depression, finally closing it in 1939.
