RENAUDIN & BESSON

Renaudin & Besson was a French coachbuilder which mostly bodied Delahaye, Aster and Unic cars. I don't know exact existence period, but this is what I have found.

Am I missing the obvious answer?  Is the 1913 Ford Taxicab made by the Ford Motor Company, Detroit?

Nope...in that case the name would have been 'Ford'.
This one is 'Ford Taxicab' and the full name was Ford Taxicab Corporation.

Since you are slowing down a bit, here's a recap:

Wendax: 45 numbers, score: 1002
Arunas: 28 numbers,  score: 469
Targhediferro: 21 numbers, score: 405
Joao: 22 numbers, score: 283
pnegyesi: 17 numbers, 246
Otto Puzzell: 9 numbers, score: 164
D-Type: 9 numbers, score: 79
Faksta: 5 numbers, score: 79
Allan L: 6 numbers, score: 46
Ropat53: 2 numbers, score: 24
pguillem: 5 numbers, score: 15
Tom_I: 2 numbers, score: 13

Joao found top maker #9 (Lancia), after 20 numbers.
Wendax reached 1000 after 45 numbers
Arunas, Targhediferro and Joao can only play to reach 1000.

I'm going to set a time limit to give all of you the chance to reach at least 45 numbers but in a reasonable time.

Well, I can't find any reference to "Ford Taxicab Corporation" in Georgano or on the internet so I'll have to quit on this one.
