Da Vinci

Following the collapse of the Scripps-Booth Company in 1922, James Scripps-Booth came up with a completely new automobile called the Da Vinci.

He was unable to interest any automobile manufacturers in his ideas, so, at his own expense, he had a prototype Da Vinci built in 1925 at Louis Chevrolet's factory in Indianapolis. The body was designed by Scripps-Booth and built by Fleetwood.
