The full title of the original company was "LeBaron Carrossiers, Inc.". started by Tom Hibbard (who created the name) and Ray Dietrich in 1920. The 1974 article I cited in my earlier message quotes extensively from both of these guys. Perhaps "Le Baron" is correct French grammar, but it isn't how "LeBaron" was/is spelled. BTW, the third employee of LeBaron was Ralph Roberts, who worked for Lockheed in Burbank during WWII after Briggs/LeBaron folded and passed away in his mid-90's a few years ago, as a long-time resident of South Pasadena.
