There is extensive documentation of restoration work and information on Cantrell & Co. Joseph Theodore Cantrell established his company in 1905, primarily repairing buggies, carriages, and wagons. As their "Depot Wagons" became more popular they began building "Estate cars" for wealthy easterners. Most of the Cantrell wood bodies were built on Ford and Dodge chassis. The high quality of Cantrell's bodies was not only recognized in the United States but in many foreign countries as well. Cantrell Suburbans, the company's preferred name for their wood wagon bodies, could be seen on the roads of France, England, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, and the Hawaiian Islands. During WWII Cantrell became a major supplier of stretched troop transport wagons for both the military and civil defense duties. Detroit's first passenger car based all steel station wagons appeared in 1949 and their immediate acceptance and popularity with the buying public marked the beginning of the end for J.T. Cantrell & Company. Between 1949 and 1958 Cantrell concentrated on body production for 1/2 to 1 ton truck chassis for Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, and Studebaker. Unfortunately, these orders were too few and far between and Cantrell ceased production in September 1958. Call or email [email protected] or 715-687-4522
