Correct!
These designs were made by Thomas L. Hibbard but the answer is not complete yet.
They were supposed to be fitted with (modified) Ford engines and chassis...but they where not Ford Specials by Hibbard, but a proposal for a new line of cars, to be sold under a different name...you found the 2nd part of this (never realized) company's name.
The 1st name is quite known too....

Wow! That´s very interesting...

The 1st name is French?

I hope it doesn't have the scent of nicking a point. The name you are after is Miller-Hibbard. Miller being the well-known Harry A. Miller.

Paul Jaray · February 03, 2011, 08:15:03 AM

Miller-Hibbard is correct!
I'll post the article soon and award the point.
Well done Wendax, it's no more a surprise now you are running fast!
João, better luck next time. Thank you for keeping this puzzle alive...I'm sure you was going to hit it eventually!
