Was it really that easy?  :D
Give me the model designation and when it was built, and the point is yours. Locked for you.

I knew it was one of the orphan type USA cars but could not put my finger on it.
Sometimes the answer comes to me at night. I have been a student of White cars/trucks/tractors and Cletracs for a long time.
To answer your other questions [which were not part of the original question] will take some time. Someone will prob beat me to it.

Well, I think there's more to "identify this car" than just naming the marque.
I'll keep this puzzle locked for you for some days.

From what I can gather they only went for a couple of years. There was only one model chassis [4 cyl] with the usual body styles eg sedan, tourer etc etc.
The engine is conflicting. Some say it was a Zeder engine [ie pre Chrysler] and others say it was bought in.
One source said a 6 cyl came out just before the finish.
The naming of the car is mentioned as well as the logo design. These were not finalised until production started virtually.
Thats about all I can find.

The details seem consistent with a Model G.

1924?

Another point for you.
