I can find so little mention of this car or its manufacturer that I'm not quite convinced either existed at all. Even if they did exist, there are not enough sources for the article to ever be much longer than the three sentences it currently is.  — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 05:43, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous small producers from that era that have been lost in the "dustbin" of history. However, I found this reference to a catalog listing a British "A.M.C." steam car that includes an illustration of the 10 h.p. powered vehicle "that can be fitted with any design of body for two, three, or four persons"), but this description is from ten years earlier than given in WP article's title: "An Automobile Handbook". The Motor Car Journal. 2 (94). London: 708. 22 December 1900. Is this significant enough to give mention in WP? CZmarlin (talk) 16:46, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
