Easier than I thought..!

The builder, John A. Lasley, was an engineer and owned the Lasley Tool and Machine Co in Beloit, WI.
Below is a front view of this car (for which he made the moulds himself) and a picture of the Lasley Sport Biplane which had originally been built in 1931 though was modified/rebuilt by Lasley in the late 1930s.
Well done.
