Post by: 4popoid on December 19, 2013, 12:46:18 AM: I have uncovered two likely candidates, but can not find a photograph of either, so I'll just have to try them in alphabetical sequence. How about a 1901 Altman, which was a one off homebuilt by Henry J. Altman of Cleveland, Ohio?
Title: Re: PJ - 579
Post by: targhediferro on December 19, 2013, 01:37:54 AM: I hope I'm not steeling the second candidates to 4popoid...but I guess Aultman, 1901.

Post by: 4popoid on December 24, 2013, 06:13:54 PM: My current list of private individual manufacturers for the puzzle time frame has been exhausted, so I will have to try a new approach.

It has been established that the puzzle car was not manufactured on either the East or West Coast, nor in Ohio, Mississippi, or Missouri. Was the puzzle car manufactured in Pennsylvania?

Title: Re: Solved -PJ579- 1901 Dewabout
Post by: Arunas on December 27, 2013, 07:14:04 AM: Was it a self-made car instead of a company product? I've never heard about this car before.
