Untitled[edit]

I did a little research, but was not able to find anything on this company. Due to its brief life, this isn't surprising. Could the company possibly be related to Vincent G. Apple (1874-1932)? He was a Dayton area inventor who received patents on several automobile and aircraft related electrical parts.

I added the unreferenced tag to this page. Even the David Burgess Wise "Encyclopedia of Automobiles" does not mention this company (it lists even the smallest of defunct auto companies). It could be that it was so small and so short lasting that there is just not much written about it. Worse case senerio, the page is a hoax. If a hoax, the page should be removed, otherwise, it needs to reference sources.HornColumbia 17:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found a reference to this company in Rolling Wheels by Martin H. Bury (1953), but not any information on the car or company. At least it shows this page is not a hoax.HornColumbia (talk) 20:00, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i didnt find anything related to this car or company. I believe its a hoax. I am adding a hoax template thanks. --Camilo Sanchez (talk) 05:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some research on this company, and I no longer think this is a hoax. The book below has some historical info on this company. I don't have access to this book, but if someone wants a project, this book would be a good ref to expand the article.

Edit Warring[edit]

Edit Warring is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, and as such, I would like to resolve this issue before undoing any more edits. The user Special:Contributions/2602:306:B8A5:26B0:D8BB:C160:6001:B63B is arguing that the reason the company failed is because the company lacked Steve Jobs' business acumen. It is my understanding that the company Apple and the automobile company in question have no affiliation. To equate, this is like me going on the Vietnam War article, and adding that good Americans suffered so many casualties because America lacked a good military leader like Genghis Khan. It doesn't make any sense because they have nothing to do with each other, and while having Genghis Khan as a general might have helped, it's irrelevant. Similarly, having Steve Jobs' business acumen might have helped, but it's irrelevant. k_scheik (talk) 19:02, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting additions like this is not considered edit warring. Additions of inane trollish pov such as this is vandalism and exempt from the 3rr policy. However,an essay, WP:DENY, is on point here. If someone who is obviously trolling, or so clueless as to think this a helpful addition, is best ignored. John from Idegon (talk) 06:18, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
