Winnipeg (automobile)
The Winnipeg was a Canadian automobile manufactured in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the early 1920s. The backers of the car were brothers Frank and Dave Ogletree, EL Herbert and Louis Arsenault. A factory was purchased, and a pilot model was built for promotional purposes. The car was actually a badge engineered Hatfield Model A-42 tourer, manufactured in Sidney, New York. The Hatfield was shipped in pieces to Winnipeg, reassembled, and fitted with a Winnipeg radiator emblem and hub caps. Additional features were a set of chains for the wheels and a non-burstable radiator. The car was promoted using the slogan "As Good As The Wheat". The car was driven extensively in order to persuade potential investors to buy stocks in the company. By 1923, Hatfield had stopped producing 4 cylinder cars, so Winnipeg decided to produce a 6-cylinder car. Still not having enough money to build their own cars, they again imported a car.

Badge Engineering
In the automotive industry, rebadging is a form of market segmentation used by automobile manufacturers around the world. To allow for product differentiation without designing or engineering a new model or brand (at high cost or risk), a manufacturer creates a distinct automobile by applying a new "badge" or trademark (brand, logo, or manufacturer's name/make/marque) to an existing product line. Rebadging is also known as '' rebranding'' and ''badge engineering''; the latter is an intentionally ironic misnomer, in that little or no actual engineering takes place. The term originated with the practice of replacing an automobile's emblems to create an ostensibly new model sold by a different maker. Changes may be confined to swapping badges and emblems, or may encompass minor styling differences, as with cosmetic changes to headlights, taillights, front and rear fascias and outer body skins. More extreme examples involve differing engines and drivetrains. The objective is "to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Derby (Canadian Automobile)
The Derby Motor Cars Ltd. was a Canadian automobile built in Saskatchewan between 1924 and 1927. Company principal Louis Arsenault believed that with a booming wheat trade in the Prairies, customers and investors would support a car company. Arsenault opened an office for Derby Motors in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in early 1924, following the dissolution of Winnipeg Motor Cars Ltd. in fall 1923. The car was in fact an early example of badge engineering. Rather than build cars, Arsenault imported American built Davis cars, changed the nameplates to "Derby" and added "Derby" tire covers. Conversion of the cars took place in the former Marshall tractor factory in Saskatoon. The Derby used a Continental six-cylinder engine The engine configuration describes the fundamental operating principles by which internal combustion engines are categorized. Piston engines are often categorized by their cylinder layout, valves and camshafts. Wankel engines are often categorize ..., and came in four diff ...

Vintage Vehicles
Vintage, in winemaking, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product—wine (see Harvest (wine)). A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote quality, as in Port wine, where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years. From this tradition, a common, though not strictly correct, usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality. Most countries allow a vintage wine to include a portion of wine that is not from the year denoted on the label. In Chile and South Africa, the requirement is 75% same-year content for vintage-dated wine. In Australia, New Zealand, and the member states of the European Union, the requirement is 85%. In the United States, the requirement is 85%, unless the wine is designated with an AVA, (e.g., Napa Valley), in which case it is 95%. Technically, the 85% r ...
