The Standish motor car was built by the Luxor Cab Manufacturing Company, makers of the Luxor taxicab.

The Standish was a luxury car with brass trim and a pointed radiator and was powered by a six-cylinder Continental engine. Manufacture of the Standish began in mid-1924 at the R H Long Motor Car Company plant in Framingham, Massachusetts, where the Bay State car had been built.

It is reported that production of the Standish was limited to one sedan and, possibly, one open car. 

The pointed radiator made for the Standish was later used for the Elysee truck introduced in 1926 (see Elysee).
