Built in the 1950s?

Otto Puzzell · February 14, 2012, 04:45:30 AM

Possibly.

The company that built this was started in the previous decade, and was absorbed by a much larger company in the 1960's.

was this much larger company active in the automotive business?

Otto Puzzell · February 14, 2012, 08:08:09 AM

On a small scale, but their automotive exploits sparked little consumer interest.

pnegyesi · February 14, 2012, 09:07:25 AM

Was it a motorcycle company which absorbed the maker of the puzzle car?

Otto Puzzell · February 14, 2012, 09:40:15 AM

No sir

pnegyesi · February 14, 2012, 12:22:05 PM

Did the company which built the puzzle car, produced other types of vehicles or only these tuggers?

Otto Puzzell · February 14, 2012, 01:24:14 PM

This company build and sold components in a variety of industries, and sold many self-branded consumer products for decades. They had a brief foray selling automobiles. One of those vehicles is a solved puzzle elsewhere on this site.

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

pnegyesi · February 14, 2012, 02:12:51 PM

Was the puzzle vehicle built by Taylor Dunn?
