Intended for mass production. I cannot say how many were built.

After research: At least 4 vehicles were produced.

LOCKED for kwgibbs.

It is a Paragon. What year was it probably built?

kwgibbs · « **Reply #22 on:** July 03, 2017, 07:35:05 PM »

I think it was 1921,and by paul f hackenthal from Connellsville,pennsylvania/Cumberland Maryland?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #23 on:** July 04, 2017, 08:05:58 AM »

And the point goes to kwgibbs.

The had a lot of big plans for the Paragon. The history isn't entirely clear, but it appears they came close to finishing factories in two different locations. Good way to burn through all your investment capital.
