I'm sorry, I was excluding one continent at a time.
Canada?

I believe so. The builder was in partnership with someone else in business, but the records say he alone built this car.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 06, 2016, 09:41:27 AM »

was the business (partnership) focusing on selling cars?

No. American cars.

hopefully a bigger brand...

No chance! They sold two marques, both names which would be known to Autopuzzles, but not high-volume makers.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:13:41 PM »

something like Jordan?

Probably even less well-known.

(The puzzle car has no relation to the marques sold by the builder)

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:27:18 PM »

I guessed that there is a no relation, but I have to start somewhere

Was it a brand sold only locally?

The cars sold by the two business partners were sold mainly in the USA. The puzzle car was built from American components.

was it built between 1920-1925?
