a 1912 Little Car?

[eagle]

I found this ad on Craig's list last night. I've never heard of a little car before... interesting. Thought maybe some of you might find it interesting.

Little was Durant's plant manager and when Durant was tossed out of GM the first time he set up two plants, Little was building a small 4 cylinder car and then he got with Louis Chevrolet who came up with a large 6 cylinder car. The orginal Chevy was expensive and had some issues so things were consolidated with Little and the reworked 4 cylinder car was then called a Chevy since Little wasn't the best of names. Ironically since Chevy has always been the cheap car of the GM line, Louis had fancier cars in mind, so he left Durant.

There is a short biography in this Month's Hemmings Classic Car about William Little, kind of interesting as they point out that you hear a lot about Durant and Chevrolet but you hear little (punintended) about Little.
