Jeffery was an automobile brand built by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin. The firm had sold its cars as Rambler from 1902 to 1913. After the death of the founder Thomas B. Jeffery in 1910 his son Charles T. Jeffery took over, and in 1915 he changed the branding from Rambler to Jeffery in honor of his father. The brand's cars included the Jeffery Four of 1914 to 1917, a monobloc four-cylinder model, and a six-cylinder Jeffery Six, which was called the Chesterfield Six in 1915. The company also made four-wheel-drive trucks and armored cars, notably the Jeffery Quad. In 1917 it was sold to Charles W. Nash, the former president of General Motors, and became the foundation of the Nash Motors Company.
