GJG Vehicle

GJG Vehicle

The GJG vehicle was an American design based on various imported components, including those based on the Renault. It came in two different engine types, the 25 horsepower engine and the 40 horsepower engine. Both were 4 cylinder engines.

The 25 horsepower engine was known as 'junior' and the larger one the 'senior'. The latter version was available in a variety of bodyworks. The cars were made in White Plains, New York from 1909 to 1914 by a man called Georg Grossman. The cars were discontinued in 1914 as they were no longer making profit.

Renault was the vehicle that some of the components of the GJG was based on. It is a French company that produces vehicles of varying type.

Renault first became really popular in the British market in the 1970s when it brought out the R5 and R18 vehicles. At this point however, it had not achieved the same market success of the Ford, Vauxhall or Austin Rover for instance.

Renault enjoyed much success with the introduction of its supermini car, the Clio, in 1991. This was followed by its Megane model in the early 2000s. in 2005 it was Britain's fourth best selling car and silenced critics that thought it would not be a success in the UK market. Renault now helps make cars for Nissan.
