The Crawford Automobile Company was an American automobile manufacturing company based in Hagerstown, Maryland which produced cars from 1905 to 1923. The factory was located on Surrey Avenue. After the Crawford Automobile Company was purchased by the M. P. Moller Pipe Organ Co., they produced a sporting version of the Crawford called the Dagmar (in production until 1927).[2]

Crawfords were chain-driven until 1907, and the 1911–1914 models featured transaxles. Later cars featured brass trim, disc-covered wooden artillery wheels, and Continental six-cylinder engines.[2]
