 Haynes continued to perfect his auto design , and in late 1895 he began his work to create a new hard alloy for use as a crankcase and other auto parts . His intent was to make a metal that would be resistant to rusting . He experimented with the use of aluminum and found that when used , it significantly deadened the noise produced by the engine parts . As his designs progressed , he decided to form a partnership for the manufacture of his vehicles . At the end of 1894 , Haynes joined with Elmer and Edgar Apperson to create an automobile company and began producing cars that year . Their company is recognized as being the first viable automotive company in the United States , and the second company to produce autos commercially . The Duryea Motor Wagon Company had formed a year earlier , but went out of business after producing only thirteen vehicles . Haynes became involved in a dispute with the Duryea company over the advertisements Haynes @-@ Apperson ran , claiming to have created the first automobile . The Haynes @-@ Apperson advertisement was clearly false , but after Duryea 's company went bankrupt in 1898 , there was no one to continue to dispute the claim . " America 's First Car " remained the company 's motto for the rest of its existence .
