There were not too many Six Cylinder cars back then. I was inclined to say Grant from Detroit, but it looked different. So how about Grant Six from Cleveland, Ohio?

Even if I won't find the car, I have to tell you, that I am grateful for this puzzle - during my research I found three small museums in Ohio, which feature locally built cars. They are great additions to my museums' guide

How about a Ghent? It offered a six-cylinder in 1918.

How about the short-living Light Six from 1914?

Not sure where G-L range came from. I'll call it serendipity

This car is not from Michigan. Only 47 states to go... ;)

In the G-L part of that range?
That's the last guess of this type I'm going to answer.
Yes, it's in that range.
I don't think it's an Hupmobile Model 20-F Coupe...it would be too easy.
Is this a Jonz Model C coupe from 1911?
Neither one of those.

The Hupmobile is from the right country; and the decade of the second guess is correct.

I forgot about the G-L guess. Working far to may hours these days.  :P

Yes, the Generic United States of America is the correct nation.   ;)

Was this a prototype or produced in series?

It was a series produced automobile, though I expect it was not a big seller. The company folded well before the great depression. After the Great War, there was a recession in the US economy, which hurt pricy brands such as this one. Before they folded, they we producing cars out of assembled components, including engines, purchased elsewhere.

Regarding an answer I gave before, this brand is sometimes referred to by a two-word name. Each word was a single syllable, and started with the same letter. Different references referred to the car by one name, others by two.

Kline Kar fits most of the requirements, though I think Kline got two syllables ...

Yes, that's the make. Company sometimes called Kline Car, Sometimes called just Kline. Just like I said in the preceding post.

I'm going to need a bit more detail before this one is deemed 'solved'

Close - still locked.

Strike that - you're close enough. For putting up with my bumbling of yet another puzzle, the point is your.

This one is a Kline 6-60 Detachable Coupe Roadster
