ARGO / USA

The ARGO Motor Company entered the cyclecar market in 1914. The car was based on the AJAX built by the Briscoe Brothers in France .
Only few cyclecars were sold and in in 1916 it was replaced by a conventional assembled touring car.
Here you see the radiator emblem. I don´t know if was used on the on the first or on the late ARGO.
