I can't find that emblem or anything similar on any Chrysler material from 1924-25 onward. It doesn't appear to be associated with the Moon auto or the Chalmers, either.

I have no doubt that Mr. Glahn is correct in naming Chrysler. Sellers on eBay have these to offer as Chrysler:

When did I do that?

Must have been a very rare model. 1920s-1950s Chrysler advertising shows no such thing.

Here's a picture of one I took several years ago. Was puzzled by it at the time. Later determined what I believed to be Chrysler. Not sure of the year.

Lots of info and pics: www.oldcarbrochures.com and www.oldcaradvertising.com

See also: Wikipedia article: "Chrysler Corporation"

Chrysler and Imperial are well-covered.

1926 Chrysler. Note the hubcap.

The wheel looks to be a match. The device on the hubcap is an Old English letter "C". (No wonder most people couldn't read back then)

They kept it well-hidden in their advertising.
