There's nothing remarkable on this car at first sight. So, is there any remarkable bits underneath? Like its engine or suspension?


Paul Jaray

Active from 1917 till 1920.
First model, 4-a-40 Touring in 1917 was a 37hp 4-cyl Lycoming powered car, following model, the 6-a-45, made from 1918 till the end, was a Rutenber Six.

Otto Puzzell

Correct, of course.

By June of that year the firm had taken orders for fifty cars, and by September a thirty-thousand-square-foot factory had been constructed. It made tractors, a roadster, and a five-passenger, full-size automobile. After building one thousand cars that were distributed by agencies in Kansas, Nebraska, West Texas, and Oklahoma, Geronimo ended production in 1920, when the factory burned
