PRAB: It's a car built in 1969 in two exemplaires (one red and another white) by two young friend, Paul Retailleau e Andre' Bodin, whose initials form the name Prab. The white one has been shown at 2012 Retromobile.

Is that a Ford Crown Victoria from about 1990 by the  Ford Motor Company, Detroit ?

5213:EMBREE-McLEAN

In 1909, the Embree-McLean Carriage Company of St.Louis, MO, started building cars after twenty years of coachbuilding. Unfortunately the preparation of the production of three different cars with three different engines on three different chassis was more than they could handle. The company went bankrupt in 1910.

Number 101, please.

15048:TOSAPE

Isn't this over now, that Joao stumbled into Lancia???

Anyhow, I only found a reference to Tosape Publishing which in the early 1950s published something related to custom cars. Is this what you had in mind?

If I am right and if this is not over, then I go for 555

OK. How about this:

In 1921, Baldwin Motor company of Los Angeles, CA, became the regional distributor for Chevrolet automobiles. They had previously been the distributor for Saxon, Columbia and Oldsmobile commercial vehicles.

Joao made 20 attempts. You all can have 20 numbers to try your luck with the others 9 top makers.
No-one reached 1000 credits and all of you can play for that.

The game is still open untill everyone tries 20 numbers to spot another top maker and have the same chances Joao had.
Beside that, everyone (Joao included) can keep playing for the 2nd goal, the 1000 credits.

Time range, please.

1903-1909

There seems to be some uncertainty about the date Acme closed down. David Burgess Wise has your time range, Georgano has 1903-1910, the Standard Catalog has 1903-1911. Anyhow, this is the Acme Motor Company of Reading, PA, building two-, four- and six-cylinder cars up to 9653 cc.

Number 1141, please.
