This is true, and somewhat ironic considering that Bantam was the purveyor of America's Austin Seven, a tiny car that looked like a scaled down Packard. Anyhow...trivia question:
In 1932, 3 American car's were built with V16's. Cadillac sold their 452, Marmon their Sixteen, and a third company built a single V16 concept car. What company was it? If you are feeling really smart, what is so unique about it, and what became of the company that made it?
