Never heard of this engine. Haven't found a single reference to it on the
web so far. Did it ever see the light of day ? Does anyone know its specs/performance/history ? Jim Hawkins

Jim Hawkins Carefully Reading the ad, I don,t beleive there was ever a Fairchild engine called the Panther, it appears that the copywriter is comparing the purr of the panther to the Ranger engine's purr.

Yes. The spelling of the two words -- "Ranger" and "panther," as they appear in the copy -- indicates that the first word is a proper name denoting 'the only in-line, inverted , air-cooled engine in production in America' while the second word is merely a noun used in an extended metaphor, the name of an animal which shares many of the engine's characteristics.
