Ganter Motors was founded in 1949 by uniting three car manufacturers: Garant, Fenter and Erix. The name is the union of the three old company names. The office is in Denver, USA. The first (1949-1950) logo had wings (was the Fenter logo), the second (1951-1991) - an arrow, and the third (1992-present) - nothing extra.
1949-1951 Ganter Standard Series
The first car produced by Ganter, was exactly the Fenter Standard with some design elements from models of Garant and Erix. Had two body variants : Fordor (4-door sedan) and Tudor (2-door coupe).

1952-1955 Ganter Indiana
In 1952, the Ganter Indiana was presented at Motorama. It was the first car with I6 from Ganter, and it had a more modern design and interior, than the Standard series. Was able as coupe, convertible and 4-door sedan. In 1952, the police of Denver already got 100 Indiana 4dr V8s, and in 1953 taxi about all of the States bought Indiana 4dr V8 Autos, being decomissioned in around 1970.

Good start to the company’s history. Keep it up! I love the design and authenticity of the Indiana in particular.
And now that you’ve showed us a teaser for the latest Indiana somewhere else on these forums, surely it will be mentioned in this thread as well? If so, it’s not a matter of if, but when.
I will add the modern modelline on the first post, but when?
I’m making the '55 Indiana now (on a modded GM body), but at first will be the already made T1 restyle (as the new T10, with a new Around version).
NEWS ABOUT THE NEW INDIANA:
Yesterday, some CarBuild photographs photographed the look of the Indiana Squire prototypes. The Squire will be presented and go to production in 2018.
Soon the '55 T10 here!
