Sorry bat' , your google search fro French cara manufacturers wasn't complete :)
None of those, but it IS French ( the flag is a giveaway )
Think older !!!!!
Facel Vega
[QUOTE=Batmobile_Turbo]Facel Vega[/QUOTE]
nope.
As it's an older one you get one more hint ....
The name was derived from surnames of its founders: Lamy and Akar.
Possibly Amilcar?
[QUOTE=carlover]Possibly Amilcar?[/QUOTE]
I believe you are correct carlover, let's just wait for the official word.
Wow, that was a tough one. I must say, for the sake of honesty, that I had to do a google search to find the answer. :) Amilcar is correct.
[QUOTE=carlover]Possibly Amilcar?[/QUOTE]
well done carlover, you were first.
Here's the logo and the next .....
is it Studebaker?
[QUOTE=Need4Speed]is it Studebaker?[/QUOTE]
no.
Nice piece of history on this make....
It [I]may [/I] have been the true winner of the first Indy 500 :)
I'll take a shot and say Plymouth?
I don't have much of a clue about Indy racing, so I don't know.
Marmon
[QUOTE=henk4]Marmon[/QUOTE]
Ray Harroun in his Marmon is the credited winner of the 1911 Indy 500.
But it was challenged on the day.
The story behind what went on next is astonishing.
( I'll post the link after the answer is guessed for car history freaks like me :) )
So who else was involved????
Lozier, driver Mulford,
further a Fiat and a Mercedes, but those are not the badges. BTW You are starting this thing very early in the morning, do you have internet in your commuter car? :)

Youngest is goign in to school for "study support" over the Easter break - major exams in 2 months - so I'm up getting breakfast and been told she doesn't need to be in for another hour.... so just wasting some time :)
Anyway, yep, Lazier.
Here's the promised link - [url]http://www.na-motorsports.com/Journal/1997/1/RussellJ.html[/url] - and interesting timing method and a great story which paints a totally disorganised picture of the first Indy :)
I think everyone knows the script, Here's the complete badge and the new one to go for :)
