Kimball trucks were made in Los Angeles and Long Beach factories in California. It seems there are no known survivors of this brand.

Distribution was mostly local and I feel most didn't believe a proper car could come from an area that was mostly still very much 19th century (prospecting and horseriding) at the time that left little space for sophisticated factories. -- Last edit: 2026-02-18 17:46:06
