Power40 hp
Higher-rated conventional touring identity in the 1911 40/50 Series. The compiled table calls it C-50 while adjacent narrative text once renders C-40; the tabular designation is retained and the conflict disclosed rather than creating two models. Its period-derived mechanical series shares the 117-inch chassis and 283.7-cu-in four with B-40, D-50 and E-50. Two touring prices, $1,350 and $1,650, survive at series level but cannot be assigned safely to C-50.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
No surviving factory chassis ledger or model allocation has been recovered. Contemporary sales and competition evidence proves manufacture, but neither marque-wide nor model-specific production totals are asserted.
