NEV?

Yeah! One of those things...if they had done it in say '32 or even '28 they might've stolen a march on the market. That era is pretty interesting, though not really fo styling. There were something like 1000 car makes listed in the United States in 1920, then the market went into recession

So close to a 250LM. It's in Modena red though, so I'm thinking a Maserati. Maserati Tipo 64?

You got it. The Mitchell shown is actually nicknamed the "drunken" Mitchell. See, they laid back the radiator to make it look more streamlined, and people...people did not like it.

That narrows it down...so most likely Honda or Suzuki but I can't find an Acty or Carry that has that grill. Unless it's a DKW or Piaggio...

Looks like some kind of kei truck but I'm not having any luck.

It was started by a guy named Ransom Eli Olds in...I want to say 1901?
