The Luxor was planned as a smart taxicab by some New York City business men, who asked M.P.Moller, who was producing the Dagmar motor car, to build the Luxor taxicab.
A few Luxor cabs were built in Hagerstown, Maryland before operations moved to Framingham, Massachusetts, where the Luxor was produced alongside the Bay State car in the R. H. Long factory (see Bay State).
The Luxor was a standard, assembled four-cylinder vehicle but was fitted with leather-upholstered interiors and had a distinctive body color scheme in cream, yellow and black with red striping.

When the R. H. Long business failed in 1925, Luxor bought the Framingham factory to continue production. However, Luxor was in receivership by 1926 and production of the Luxor stopped in 1927. Luxor also built a private passenger car called the Standish between 1924 and 1925 (see Standish).
