What is it ? # 241

• 

A fine American car with a 'European tinge' (Motor World) to it. The name was inspired by a French forest battlefield where amongst the Europeans also countless US soldiers died during WWI....
We must warn you this make is ultra rare. So you have to go deep into your books or memory. The four cylinder engine is a class on its own and is to be found with just a few other makes. We are not sure the Austro Daimler style V-shaped radiator will help you a lot. The fact the car was produced during two years only may be of better help. The fact that it was made in Jersey City may bring even more, although we doubt if the make left any visible traces. The best tip we can give you is to seek help from Sportscar market boss Keith Martin, as he provided a photo of this make of car to The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile. Anyway, despite a guaranteed 20 mpg and 70 mph and despite that the people in Jersey City know about car advertising, the car didn't make it. Probably no more than 25, maybe 35 were ever made. Up to you to cough up all you know about it. Limit yourself to 100 words in order to have a chance to win the infamous PreWarCar T-shirt. Send your response before Monday, December 15. But first read The Rules. (photo source & outcome to be revealed next Saturday)
