A short history of this little known vehicle
https://www.nbaac.org/about/history-of-clubs-logo/

and today's news article that prompted me to Google the vehicle.
At $3000 !!! little wonder they only made less than a handful.

Saint John NB to Halifax NS is today about 400 km (250 Mls) 4 hour road trip.

Interesting story, shame none survive but perhaps not surprising given the limited production run.

Hi
I wonder what the price of a RR 40/50 would have been at the same time.

The Singer part of Palmer Singer, was a member of the sewing machine Singer family, nothing to do with the English car manufacturer. Unless of course Singer sewing machines had a finger in that pie too
