DIANA four-door-sedan, THE LIGHT STRAIGHT 8, MANUFACTURED BY THE MOON MOTOR CAR CO. OF ST. LOUIS MO. (1925-1928)
The Diana was tailored to the very fast emerging women's driving market in the US, which already expressed the car's name. Diana, in Roman mithology, was the goddess of hunt, and, how surprising, of the moon. The Diana was touted as the "easiest car to drive in America".
Technically very advanced, with a 72hp Continental straight 8 engine, hydraulic four wheel brakes, a Lanchester vibration dampener, 3 speed manual gearbox. Priced at $2195.00, only 2000 units of the Diana have been produced.

Well, at least you omitted the Moon part from its name, so I won't split hairs. It was not built by the Moon Motor Car Company, but by its subsidiary Diana Motors Company. You wouldn't call a Porsche a VW, wouldn't you?
