The Tudhope Carriage Company

The largest carriage maker in the British Commonwealth, a car designed by men as famous as Henry Ford at the time, a pan-Canadian sales network, favourable tax laws. Should be a recipe for success, but was it?

Hear about the Tudhope Carriage Company, Tudhope Motor Company, Orillia bodies and much more. You will be amazed to hear about the wide array of goods manufactured in the factory at the corner of West and Colborne Streets, and also its many offshoots.

Visionary members of the Tudhope Family contributed in a major way to Orillia being an industrial hub in central Ontario.
