So, anyone know the connection between Brennan Motors of Syracuse NY and American Bantam of Butler PA.
Did Brennan make Bantam engines, or ???
Thanks, John |

This is from a memo from the American Bantam Car Company to its dealers:
"The Brennan Motor manufacturing Company of Syracuse, New York make(s) a 20 H.P. marine motor suitable for light run-abouts or fishing boats up to 26 ft. using our 63-000 series Bantam engine as a base. This Marine Conversion has a special Marine clutch and reverse gear, a water jacketed exhaust manifold, a water pump, a flame arrestor, and a special cover for the generator and water pump drive and distributer, ready to install in boat."
No date on this, but should be late 1930's.
