Was one of the Chevrolet brothers involved in the project?

No, the connection is not so direct and no Chevy connection here

Opps, I forgot this one...
Now there are 20 candidates...
I'll exclude Bauley & Knutson, Beetle-Flyer, Belmont, Bertolet, Bertzchy, Bingman, Bluebird, Brictson, Brownie, Buckeye, Burdick, (wrong year, different appearance and no relation with other makers, except for Brownie, connected with LaFrance)
I think Bergdoll, Berkshire and Black Crow are out as well, because not that obscure.
I'll try Brunner from Buffalo.

Is this maker featured in any book?

It is featured in at least one, a "standard catalog"... And none of the mentioned above.

Blue & Gold?

Brotherton?
Or is the connection in the engine? Like a 20hp Hupmobile powered car built in Detroit by Beyster?
(hope you don't mind a 2-name guess...)

Yes, this one is the Brotherton. Congratulations! It was designed by Charles Balough (originally known as Karoly Balogh), a Hungarian born engineer who previously worked for Ford (twice). He participated in the design of the Model T. He went on to become president of Hercules Motor Company which supplied thousands of engines to the Fordson and then to various trucks.
