Ebbett Motors, established in 1928, was originally sandwiched between a Chinese laundry and a gunsmith’s shop in Hood Street, Hamilton.  They focused on the popular General Motors products of the time; namely Oakland, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet. These core marques secured the survival of a company, bravely started during the world-wide depression by a young Alf Ebbett, who was later joined by his brother Ron.
