Well, he's already said no to Cord and Packard, but it could be one of the other two.

One BIG NO to ever guess so far.

Some more hints .....

Through the years ********** participated in all types of competition. Noteworthy events included: around-the-world endurance trials (1910-1912), visit to all the state capitols (1916), 1932 Indianapolis 500 race (finished 5th) and many local endurance-type competitions.
The first police car for Detroit was a 1910 *********. The US Army used **********in WW I as General staff cars to visit the front lines, and as ambulances. Train/car race from Capetown to Johannesburg, South Africa in 1924 (Train won the race). Train/car rematch race in 1990, (Car won this time).

I love the last part. It raises the question if this was because the roads were better or the rails and trains worse
