That's what I call oversteer. Those look like US-style bumpers - is it from the States?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Wild guess, if only because they were famous for their advertising - Jordan?

Was it a lesser-known marque which ceased production during the Depression ?

A short-lived, lesser-known marque whose disappearance had nothing to do with the Great Depression anyhow.

Yes, it is. The Ajax Six was a one-year-only brand that became a Nash in 1926. Nash even offered free rebranding packages for Ajax customers.
