After serving as a distributor for Gramm trucks in the early 1900s, Paul Kleiber founded the Kleiber Motor Truck Company in 1913. He did well with the truck business, he entered the automobile business, and between 1924-1929 produced a small number of cars, which were sold mostly on the Pacific Coast. he didn't have a wide selection of cars, but they had good quality, and will billed as "Aristocratic in Appearance."
