I think the Tucker had this - if you can count 50 as 'production'. I think 
they intended to make a few more than that!

I thought it was the first in the world! Can't find any others, although I 
think some diesels might have been earlier.

This is definitely not true. KF had one in 1949, and there might have been 
others before.

I'd be amazed if this is true - I thought that was the Duryea (as on the 
AACA logo) (;-))).
