Dr. Tingley used her major stockholding in the White Company, and seat on the board of directors, to convince the company to manufacture this one-of-a-kind car at a time when White was only manufacturing trucks, light commercial vehicles, and buses.
Dr. Louisa Tingley on their board of directors, and she wouldn't settle for driving anything but a White. She drove this until 1952
This large, 4-passenger sedan, designed by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsy, was fabricated using a reduced scale bus body mounted on White's 3/4 ton chassis.
