ELITE / BRAND ERBISDORF / GERMANY ( 1913 - 1930 )
The German ELITE started car production in Brand / Erbisdorf ( Saxonia ) after WW1.
But even before that there was quite successful production of trucks, especially electric - trucks. This started already in 1914.
As the name suggested they offered luxury cars. Car production ceased in 1929. Only small quantities of cars were built so you have look years for an original ELITE emblem.
