What is it? Quiz #434


This week's quiz is an American producer of steam and petrol powered automobiles. In fact you're looking at one of the prototypes of a four cylinder 20HP car, of which only three were built and outside the three never made it into production.

The man who has built these cars wanted something new and different with the latest modern improvements. He was so content with the result that he decided to build two more for his family. His own car is the only one to survive and can be admired in one of America's most important museums.

Well, by now you probably know exactly what car it is. So just let us know in a comment the make, the year and the model, together with other relevant information and you have a fair chance to win this week's  PreWarCar T-shirt. But first check The Rules under 'Read More'
 
Results will be published next week Saturday, plus more photos of the car at today's location.

It’s an IZZER otherwise he probably would have called it a Whazzer. Dr. Bissell from Watseka, Illinois was a character who liked to play with words when he ordered one at the “Model Gas Engine Co.“ from Perú (Indiana) in 1911.
E.A. Meyers owner of the Co liked what he had created so he decided to make another two, one for his own and one for his managing director James Littleton, using parts from Great Western another Peru-built car. The Bissell car has a folding front seat, installed by the doctor, to have a spare seat for his daughter.

We are divided by a common language ......'outside the three never made it into production'[. I had assumed that cars were produced 'inside'. And if they didn't make it into production, how does one survive?
