Post by: el_monty on August 24, 2018, 01:14:09 AM: I don't know how many were built, but the numbers must have been low. It was a small marque that did not last very long.

G.J.G. Roadster 1911
Correct, it is indeed a product of the short-lived G. J. G. Motor Car Co. of White Plains, NY (named after its founder George John Grossman). Now please tell me the particular name given to this body style to complete the puzzle. It was not just called Roadster but something more adventurous. Locked of course.

Post by: el_monty on October 12, 2019, 04:03:23 PM: Hmm. I never posted the unedited version of this puzzle picture. Here it is.
Also, I'm going to write GJG Pirate here, in case someone looks for this marque's name it without the dots (as just happened to me).
