Grout maybe? It's hard to find pictures for most of the makes I can find, so it gets down to just some little information.

[Ray B.]

  Grout it is!
It's been here so long that I say the brand itself is worth a point. The exact model name will be worth another.
Locked for faksta 72 hours.

Grout $800 Steam Runabout?

Exactly.
Made in Orange, Massachussetts.

Strange name for a car - $800 Steam Runabout Maybe it was just an advertisement which contained those $800?

[Ray B.]

It seems to have been part of the name. The caption was "Guaranteed to Go Where Any Automobile Ever Went"

Including, alas, out of business.
