By the end of 1910, Forest M. Keeton left the Croxton-Keeton Motor Car Co. to manufacture another rare American Automobile called the Keeton in Detroit, Michigan.

Herbert A. Croxton co-owner of the Croxton-Keeton Motor Car Co. reorganized Croxton-Keeton into the Croxton Motor Co. after F. M. Keeton left in 1911. That same year the Croxton Motor Company merged with the Royal Tourist Automobile Company to form The Consolidated Motor Car Co. In addition Croxton added The Acme Body and Veneer Company of Rahway, NJ to Consolidated Motor's.

The Consolidated Motor Car Co. wanted to absorb and control other American Automobile company's which would enable them to manufacture and distribute a more complete line of motor vehicle's and equipment. By absorbing companies that made automobile bodies and accessories the Consolidated Motor Car Co. could same money in the manufacturing process and offer a more complete line of automobiles and trucks.

Following a modest recovery of the United States economy in 1909, the economy slipped into recession in 1910 and 1911. Conditions improved in 1912 only to reverse in 1913. So it was not uncommon to see automobiles manufacturers like The Consolidated Motor Car Co. fail during this period.

The Consolidated Motor Car Co. reorganized into The Croxton Motor Car Co. once again. Croxton then moved his company to Washington, Pennsylvania, where a new factory was built in late 1912. Those cars sold in prices similar to the Croxton-Keeton, but production of the Croxton stopped for good in 1914.
