"Chattanooga Made, Correctly Made," was the motto for the Nyberg Auto Co. It produced a dozen models of cars, including the "Dixie Flyer" and "Dixie Special." Nyberg prices ranged from $1,950 to $2,550, which was a lot in those days, when a Model T Ford cost around $600 to $700. Four types of Nyberg trucks cost between $1,450 and $3,750 each.

The factory here opened in 1912, a year after Henry Nyberg met with Chattanooga businessmen, including members of the Patten family that founded what's now Chattem and built the once-glamorous Hotel Patten, now Patten Towers, to come up with $20,000 needed to open the plant.

This 1977 Gordon Whetmore painting depicts a 1912 Nyberg.
