Eduardo,
The first compettor that comes to mind is the Willy-Overland
company. They produced a car called the "Whippet" named after the breed of race dogs. It had full pressure oiling and oil pressure and water temp gauges. It was introduced in 1927 and produced until (I think) 1931/2. It was a good car, But Henry could manufacture his cars for much less money. Remember that a $20 to $50 difference in price was a LOT of money in those days.
