What is it?
Quiz # 263

• 

It's a short lived car in front of a long living name. It was made by a famous manufacturer of wellknown cars. He left the firm after a row with the board of directors and was forced to leave his costly brandname behind. So he started all over again, with a new name of which his own name was only a small part. Still the succes was instantanuous, probably came too fast. He sold 7000 cars in his first year and had another 15.000 on order for the next. As he lacked the working capital to continue, he had to step down and eventually his company went into receivership. The business was bought by a group that didn’t change the name of the make and re-started production. A new problem arose when it appeared that quality control hadn’t been up to standards and a good many cars were falling apart. The make’s reputation was severely damaged and production had to be stopped again. Do you know what make we are talking about? And the name of the man who started it all? The years it was produced and maybe even what year this one dates from? We will give you one more clue… it was advertised in the USA as one of the first cars having a self starter.
