The car business did not survive into 1904, but Max Dingfelder did better with boats, and won a big race that was sponsored by the Detroit Yacht Club in 1906 with his auto boat “999”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingfelder Shown below is the Dingfelder Motor Company’s factory on Jefferson Street |
