Well, there were the Duesenbergs, and the Cords.

Absolutely true🙂
Sorry I forgot to mention them. However, I presumed that this Royce has been built after 1937, when Duesenberg and Cord had, tragically, gone out of business.

Sorry for my omission🙁

I don’t know too much about Cord, but Duesenberg is known even to me. There is even a museum to the Duesenberg brothers in Possibly they were even better than the Royces of the era. Cords maybe, too? I really am clueless 🙁

P.S.: the birthhouse of the Duesenberg brothers Fritz and August in the village of Kirchheide near the town of Lemgo is still extant, and has been beautifully restored by the owner.
