11950:PIONEER (3)

Well I have four Pioneers and cannot say which order you have them in, but first I'll try:
In 1914 the American Manufacturing Co of Chicago built a cyclecar with friction and belt drive from a 2-cylinder engine.

Not that.
I put them in chronological order, if they are the same, I usually put the shorter one first (but it's not always like that).
A good suggestion, in this case, would be to use the 1st hint, the time range.

I have them in chronological order too, and offered the third on that basis. My next offering assumes you have three, not four, and is the electric car of that name made in 1959 by the Nic-L-Silver Battery Co of Santa Ana, California - not my period, so I know very little about it.
If wrong, time range hint please.

Not that.
This PIONEER  was built in 1898.

The Machiavelli Max. It was built in 1986 by the Henderson Motor Corporation in Florida USA.This reproduction of the Ferrari GTB is so close to the original design that the Ferrari attorneys forced the Henderson Motor Corporation to stop making this car.This is NOT A KIT CAR. Machiavelli purchased brand new Pontiac Firebird Trans Am's and then blueprinted the V8 high performance engines, had Herb Adams (who did the suspension on the original Cobra's suspensions) rework the Trans Am suspension. Then the Ferrari designed type body was installed on the Trans Am chassis by trained craftsmen. The front end is steel except for the bonnet, which has original Ferrari steel air intakes. The entire rear end is steel with the exception of the rear hatch, which is fitted with steel Ferrari engine air vents. The front and rear bumpers are original Ferrari equipment. The car is fitted with burled walnut dash and Recaro tan leather seats. The transmission is General Motors 4 speed automatic with overdrive. The wheel are 16 x 8 aluminum. The car is FULL POWER: steering, brakes, seats, windows, door locks, delay wipers, am-fm disk player, cruise control, 2 rear fold up seats, electric trunk lock and release, electric adjustable mirrors, glass targa-top removable roof and the list goes on and on. PLEASE don't confuse this automobile with the little Fiero fiberglass kit cars.This is a FACTORY PRODUCTION AUTOMOBILE installed on a brand new General Motors chassis. When Machiavelli sold these cars in the late 1980s they cost over $35,000 and they were sold with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty from General Motors on the entire drive train. The price includes WA rego and at less than half the cost of a 308

KAUHSEN

Kauhsen was a Formula One constructor from Germany, founded by former sportscar driver Willi Kauhsen. The team started in Formula Two in 1976, purchasing Renault cars, and raced with an assortment of drivers with limited success. Kauhsen then entered the 1979 Formula One season, spending 1978 designing their own chassis with Cosworth engines. They participated in two World Championship Grands Prix with Gianfranco Brancatelli, failing to qualify on both occasions, before the team was shut down.

The Kauhsen organization is also referred to in such glowing terms as "one of F1's most abysmal efforts".

Well I have four Pioneers and cannot say which order you have them in, but first I'll try:
In 1914 the American Manufacturing Co of Chicago built a cyclecar with friction and belt drive from a 2-cylinder engine.

Not that.
I put them in chronological order, if they are the same, I usually put the shorter one first (but it's not always like that).
A good suggestion, in this case, would be to use the 1st hint, the time range.

I have them in chronological order too, and offered the third on that basis. My next offering assumes you have three, not four, and is the electric car of that name made in 1959 by the Nic-L-Silver Battery Co of Santa Ana, California - not my period, so I know very little about it.
If wrong, time range hint please.

Not that.
This PIONEER  was built in 1898.

Well I have the Australian Horseless Carriage Syndicate of Melbourne, probably the first i.c. engined car to be built in Australia, as 1897 but what's a year between friends?
If wrong, I give up and will try
