The US produced cars were slightly larger and more expensive. production ceased due to the onset of WW1 . The remaining machinery was purchased by Dueenberg and shipped to Elizabeth NJ. Thus historically the soon to be acquisition of Chrysler LLC is not the first venture in the US by this Italian company. Alhough the #301 model by High Speed is probably not intended to be a replica of the US model, it might be. The year of manufacture given by HS of 1901 is dfinitely incorrect. This model appears to possibly be from about 1910. And since there was a similarity of the cars from both continents, it is included.
