I suspect you meant to type "1894."

Are you referring to the 'Racine Motor Vehicle Company' (the joint venture with Thomas Kane of Racine, Wisconsin which produced the 'Kane-Pennington' vehicle)? Pennington made several other licensing agreements and partnerships, but the resulting vehicles seem to have all been manufactured in the UK.

[Oguerrerob]

I mistyped 1894. This company is not from Ohio (Go east)

Caleb B. Hitchcock (Hitchcock Buggy and Cutter Works / Hitchcock Manufacturing Company) of Cortland, NY

In 1894, Hitchcock reached an agreement with Edward J. Pennington (1858-1911) of the Motor Cycle Company of Cleveland, Ohio to manufacture the motor vehicle designed by Pennington. These included one- and two-passenger (tandem) motorcycles, as well as an automobile called the Victoria.

[Oguerrerob]

Yes! That's the one.
As far as I know Hitchcock called it "Hitchcock Quadricycle" and Pennington called it "Victoria".
Anyway the point is yours

Thanks for the point!
