Gray-Dort Motors Ltd. was founded in 1915 following an agreement between the Dort Motor Car Co. of Flint, Michigan and the William Gray-Sons-Campbell, Limited firm, from Chatham, Ontario, at the request of the Canadian company. Both were originating from the carriage industry and were important manufacturers in their respective countries. The Gray Carriage company was first a blacksmith shop founded in 1853 by William Gray which eventually became a carriage manufacturer. In the early days of the automobile in Canada, Gray Carriage used to do bodies for other car manufacturers in Canada like Ford of Canada of Walkerville, Still Motor Car Co. of Toronto, and Chatham Motor Car Co. The Gray-Dort car was popular in Canada, even more so than the Dort car in USA. It was particularly popular in Canada West. The company closed in 1925 shortly after the American Dort firm closed its doors. Despite the fact that by 1923, 60% of Gray-Dort cars were made in Canada, the firm could not survive to the lost of its American partner mainly because of fears they could not do it. The car bodies, the rear springs, rear axles, bent wood products, lamps, transmission, radiator, all those were made in Canada.
