On a small scale, but their automotive exploits sparked little consumer interest.
Was it a motorcycle company which absorbed the maker of the puzzle car?
No sir
Did the company which built the puzzle car, produced other types of vehicles or only these tuggers?

This company later purchased another large company, and assumed that acquired company's name.
