Coey-Mitchell Automobile Company

The Coey-Mitchell Automobile Company was an American automobile manufacturer that built the Coey automobiles and operated a chain of American Driving Schools from 1913 to 1917 and was headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company was founded under the name Coey-Mitchell Automobile Company by Charles A. Coey. The Coey family and their name come from Northern Ireland, where one still finds this name, for example in Comber.

The company introduced the two-cylinder Coey Junior and Coey Bear with four cylinders, two cycle cars.^[1][2] In addition, they made the four-or six-cylinder sports car Coey Flyer, which was built specifically for Coeys nationwide chain of driving schools.
