Who am I?

I'm a two-seater, quite sporty if I might add... (for the era)

You could either buy me assembled from the factory or in

KIT form. In this instance, a series of boxes would arrive

at your doorstep in exact order, 14 packages total, when

the first was paid for, the next would be sent, with the

buildup theoretically done concurrently as the packages

arrived, the assembly being feasible for the average man.

And, my "windshield" was bolted to the steering column.

Westfield Lotus 11 replica?

[Sixty8panther]

NO.

This is NOT a replica.

HINT: it's body-on-frame and the gas tank sits on TOP of the frame rails.

[Robert Hall]

Windshield bolted to the steering column...sounds like something ancient, like from 100 years ago.

[Sixty8panther]

Not quite a hundred.

[Robert Hall]

Not quite a hundred.

I'm thinking of something like a Stutz Bearcat or a Model T speedster, something with a tiny round or multi-sided windshield on the column. No idea what was available in kit form, though.

[Sixty8panther]

Moltar:

Keep guessing.... (and it's called a Monacle)

[Z-06]

Elva Courier

[Sixty8panther]

No... although thanx, I learned something new today.

[Sixty8panther]

C'mon people.

A few more hints.

Its name might make you think of a Baseball Team, though not spelled the same.

It was powered by a 4-cylinder motor... and it had chain drive.

....also, 2300 were "produced", many in kit form by customers but others from the factory.

[Sixty8panther]

No.

Again.... baseball team. NOT the Yankees either. :wink:

Indian motorcycle?

[Robert Hall]

Indian motorcycle?

I thought that...I seem to recall reading about them building a car at one time, but don't recall the details. I went through a list last night of MLB baseball team names, couldn't find any info online about car companies w/ similar names. Must be very obscure. Maybe the 1920 Red Sox car from Ma ?

[Sixty8panther]

Nope not Red Sox, also NOT Yankees, hint hint.... what team is

NOT the Yankees but hails from the same general locale.

[Drew Dowdell]

Dodge something.

[Sixty8panther]

Mets?

Dodge was an excellent guess.... but it's Mets.... but more like with a Z.

Too tired to fid a good write-up on the net, the trivia question was

prompted by one of my many books highlighting American Cars.

Here's a quick synopsis:

[Sixty8panther]

Nobody really cares, huh?

[§carlet §wordfish]

It's kinda cute I guess.

[Sixty8panther]

I love the idea of it... Might be the original KIT CAR.
