PAN radiator emblem |
The PAN (St. Cloud, Minnesota, 1919 - 1921) was the result of what became one of the biggest stock swindles in the history of the American car industry. The founder Samuel Conner Pandolfo had sold some $ 9,500,000 in stock to some 70,000 people. In 1919, when the verdict was handed down, the company owed $ 250,000 and had only $ 5,000 cash on hand. Sam Pandolfo got 10 years. History has revealed that 737 PANs have been built [Kimes,Clark].
