Not exactly Chevy, Ford and Chrysler. Donald Osborne brings three cars with unfamiliar names to the Garage, all on loan from the Audrain Automobile Museum in Newport, Rhode Island: a 1901 International Charette, a 1913 Herreshoff Model 30 Runabout and a 1927 Minerva AF 32 CV Sport Sedan.
The International is subcontract on subcontract: sold by the International Motor Car Company, built by Allard of Coventry, with a licensed De Dion-Bouton single-cylinder engine. It was one of the first cars dated by the Veteran Car Club and has run the London to Brighton many times. The Herreshoff comes from the family that built America's Cup-winning yachts in Bristol, Rhode Island. Charles Herreshoff left the boats behind and started his own car company in Detroit. The Minerva is Belgium's answer to Rolls-Royce, with a whisper-quiet Knight sleeve-valve six and a LeBaron body, and the goddess herself on the hood.
Jay makes his call before the numbers come out. Which unfamiliar name gained the most in the last five years? Make your pick, then tell us in the comments.
Thanks to Reliable Carriers for bringing these cars out from the @AudrainMuseumNetwork.
