I had never heard of a Jubilee Moon, let alone a 6 60, then I found this article from the San Pedro News Pilot from September 1, 1926.

Based on your research, AI came up with this as well:
Historical Performance
To prove its raw engineering power to the public, auto agents frequently took the Jubilee Moon to extreme testing environments. For example, in August 1926, the local dealership in Tacoma, Washington—theBye Thompson Motor Sales Company—made local history by successfully driving a new Jubilee Moon 6-60 up the notoriously steep K Street hill. [1, 2]
That's obviously the hill pictured in Galen's post.

That's some steep hill, and unpaved too. I'd hate to have to drive up that during a rainstorm.
BTW, there's now an Auto Zone auto parts store where Harry Starr's Moon dealership once stood in San Pedro.
