History
Sinclair-Scott was a maker of food canning machinery and in the early 1900s started to make car parts. One of their customers, Ariel, failed to pay and in recompense Sinclair-Scott took over production,[1] moved the factory to Baltimore,[2] and marketed the car as the Maryland.[1]
The car was powered by a 30-hp[3] four-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine.[4] The Ariel design was initially unchanged, and the Maryland was originally available as a four-seat roadster or a five-seat touring car. The wheelbase was later lengthened from the initial Template:Convert to Template:Convert. Limousines became available in 1908 and town cars in 1909.[2] Prices ranged from $2,500 to $3,200, (Template:Inflation).[4]
Production stopped in 1910 after 871 Marylands had been made, as producing the cars was not profitable. The company returned to the manufacture of food-canning machinery.[1]
