History[edit]

A one-off, it was built for John J. Raskob, Jr., son of the vice-president for finance of General Motors, by Wellington W. Muir of the Harrison Radiator Company. The touring car consisted of components taken from Chevrolets, Oaklands, and Cadillacs, and featured disc wheels and a 111-inch (2,800 mm) wheelbase.
