The chassis design is of the underslung variety, but this is not an American Underslung automobile.

Not a Norwalk.

FWIW, this is not a Regal either.

LOCKED for BattlePorQ

1911 Model 17 manufactured by Anderson Electric is correct.

What brand name did Anderson Electric sell this vehicle under?  I also know a longer model name, but that isn't necessary for your point.

Point awarded to BattlePorQ for the complete answer.

This puzzle taught me, that Detroit Electric vehicles continued using tillers until the company ended in 1939.
