Rogue (make of car)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rogue was an American automobile brand that was built in New York City only in 1949 by Robert A. Monroe .

The Rogue was a roadster with three seats and was assembled by Monroe and his partner Alexis Dowydoff from components from a wide variety of manufacturers. The basis was the modified chassis of a 1937 Dodge with a 3023 mm wheelbase. The car was powered by a contemporary Cadillac V8 engine, which had 5424 cm³ displacement and was tuned to 200 bhp (147 kW) power. The Lockheed hydraulically operated brakes were from the 1936 Auburn , the steering was from Chrysler and the wheels were again from Cadillac. The grille came from the new Plymouth, the fenders came from the 1946 Oldsmobile 98 and the bumpers were usually found on a 1947/1948 Frazer . The windshield was borrowed from Cord of 1937.
