I wonder what ever became of the Great Smith that Murrel Smith in Baltimore had. I thinK that was a car assembled from remains of a couple of them. I saw it years ago when we lived in Baltimore and was there for its first showing at Hershey, where it wouldn't start easily because of the cold damp weather. Still a fantastic early rare automobile that hopefully isn't locked away in some hidden from public situation. A while ago I managed to find a small advertising button for the Great Smith.
