Automobile Manufacturers Association

The Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA) was an industry organization representing American car manufacturers, primarily active from the early 20th century until the late 20th century. It aimed to coordinate industry standards, promote automotive safety, and work on public relations. The AMA also played a role in lobbying for policies favorable to car makers and addressing issues like road safety, vehicle design, and environmental concerns. Over time, it evolved and eventually merged with other industry groups, with its functions absorbed into broader automotive associations. The AMA helped shape the industry’s development and public image during its active years.
