I can't say that I remember that one specifically, but I've heard of a lot of obscure brands. Back in my old home town the reference section of the library had an amazing set of books called the Standard Catalog of American Cars.
Here's the most interesting one, spanning 1805 to 1942. I could read through that thing for hours. Major makers, minor makers, even down to little companies from the turn of the (20th) century that did little more than build one or two custom cars. It had
everything. I always wanted a copy for my own.
