Information AboutA Car Without A Name |
|
The idea behind the name, or lack therefore of, was that it would allow its buyers of the generic vehicle to name the vehicle as they wished, (or as Ego permitted) without the expense or bother of setting up their own automobile concern. Such practices in the early days of the automobile market were not uncommon, however most company's that were involved with such endeavors at least had publicly known names. The A Car Without A Name was equipped with a 30hp engine, three-speed transmission and came in three body styles, roadster, coupe- tonneau and Touring Car , and priced below $1,700 per unit. Because The Car had no name, it is impossible to find a concrete production number for the period that builds were untaken. By 1910, the Car was given an official name, the F.A.L., which was derived by its backers last names of '''F'''auntleroy, '''A'''verill and '''L'''owe. F.A.L. continued in production through 1914 at its factory in Chicago until its assets were liquidated at auction. REFERENCES
