Here is a vehicle in front of Canada's parliament building around 1912. I have some information on the vehicle but will have to look for it. I believe it was made in Connecticut. unknown vehicle 001.jpg

As I read it the first Pope motorcycle wasn't produced until after the death of founder Colonel Pope around 1910. Here is Colonel Pope's sone Albert Linder Pope.
