Wow...never heard of them! I'm surprised that a car like that ended up over here from France! It was owned by a French businessman who came here to work for our early railroad company. After the 1st world war he returned to France. I expect he took the car back with him...but I'm not sure obviously. Big Thank You to all for the interesting information! Much appreciated!

Hey guys. This little car was recently posted in a local vintage cars Facebook group. Apparently it was one of the earlier cars roaming around here. Not the earliest, that was a 1904 Thomas Flyer and later a 1906 Rolls with the same owner. This little Speedster was obviously a car for a common man of the day, not a rich person. Looking close it has some sort of transverse spring up front. Not really like a Model T, but something different! Very interesting machine. My first thought was a Metz, but looking at Google pics nothing seems to match up to this distinctive looking little machine! Hoping someone can identify it!
