Not one of those

Perhaps a Moon?

The Moon comes out at ~~knight~~ night. This picture was taken during the day.

Not a Moon.

Not a Stearns-Knight - but you did pick up the clue.

woodinsight · November 13, 2011, 07:50:40 AM

Perhaps a Sterling-Knight then?

Wendax · November 13, 2011, 08:08:23 AM

Moline-Knight?

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2011, 08:46:26 AM

Knight is not part of the manufacturer's name.

Paul Jaray · November 13, 2011, 08:59:27 AM

A car with a Knight engine or related to a XXXX-Knight marque, then, like a Whippet?
Stupid question, the Whippet was a late 20s model...

Otto Puzzell · November 13, 2011, 09:35:19 AM

No. To the best of my knowledge, this automaker constructed its own engines.

Wendax · November 13, 2011, 10:17:25 AM

But I understand it right that the puzzle car has a Knight-type sleevevalve engine?

Right - this company was named for the Knights Templar, and included an illustration of one of these Knights in their logo. My source lists this car as a 1922 example.
