I think this is a really tough one.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

This is probably the only car built by this company. I don't know whether it ever went beyond prototype stage, I haven't found any references to this car in literature. Besides car business, this company was in existence for almost 100 years.

Their main business was not related to the automobile, but for a while they were active in the automotive field.
