AJAX (USA) 1925-1926

AJAX were US Car manufacturer generally though to have been around from 1925-1926 and made at initially made Ajax Motors Co-15th Street Ravine Wiscosin
and Some references say car was made by Nash

Consequently there are very few references I found at this stage - total only 4 and 2 are for those cars that have come up for sale - What is strange is those 2 have come up for sale here in New Zealand , and 1 of 4 references is photo of one in Australia so its clear most may have been exported?
