There are so many different manufacturers of them, I was very surprised to find that as I was searching. One of the most challenging quizzes for me! I like this particular one a lot.

Pete J. Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Boy, I banged all around this one. I thought I knew it but never found it. Great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I started out thinking Mercedes 60hp, then Michaels clue led me to Mercedes-Simplex - but both those are chain driven although otherwise the roadster versions are almost identical to the Pings-Finch. I suspect a connection. Then more vaguely random searching for American roadsters built in the same year as the Mercedes Simplex gave me the answer. Btw, it's a Pings-Fitch not a Pungs-Fitch!😀 Here's the Mercedes-Simplex - note the rear wings which cover the drive sprockets as well as the wheels: Edited March 15, 2021 by DonW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 There's a connection in the sense that basically every carmaker on earth ended up copying the Mercedes Simplex. It's one of the most influential designs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
