Pope Hartford automobile

I am reading the book, http://www.amazon.com/The-Devils-Rooming-House-Deadliest/dp/1599216019 and in it the Pope Hartford automobile is mentioned as the main car used by authorities in 1911. Never having heard of this type of auto, although my husband tells me at the turn of the 20th century there were many auto companies, I had to look it up.http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10060/Pope-Hartford-Model-W.aspx

Kind of odd and funny looking car compared to other models and cars of today. Glad I heard about it.
