Chase Motor Truck Company (1907–1919), founded by Aurin M. Chase, was a manufacturer of trucks in Syracuse, New York. The vehicles were known for their air-cooled engines and simplicity of design.

The company also produced a utility wagon in the form of an automobile, which could be converted for use in business or pleasure. With a few minor changes the car could also be utilized as a commercial wagon.

It has been estimated that as many as 5,000 Chase vehicles were produced.[1] Fewer than 30-40 Chase trucks are still in existence today.[2]
