In 1874, he established the Eckhart Carriage Company in Auburn, Indiana.

In 1900, his sons Frank and Morris built their first solid-tired, tiller-steered runabout and organized the Auburn Automobile Company to build it.

Twin-cylinder models were available in 1905, a four-in 1909 and a six-by 1912.

Success was modest at best, so the Eckharts sold out to a group of Chicago investors, who included chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr., in 1919.
