You got the first letter right--"C".
Ready.......wait for it ...................Cadillac. 
Chrysler is working a deal with Fiat.

That was actually going to be my first guess, but I actually think it is wrong. Maybach was "mass producing" these in the late 1800s. Perhaps it depends on what you're calling a "car company". When did Caddy come out with this engine? Must have been early 1900s I'mma guess'n.

Going by memory, I think about 1916 or 15 there abouts. Can't swear on this though.

I'm pretty sure our German pals were cranking them out long before that for their "horseless carriages" and whatnot. I think the 1916 Caddy has another major claim to fame though. It was the first car to be laid out like what we think of as a car, that is clutch, brake, accelerator, with a gear shift in the center, etc. An Englishman used this as the base for making a cheaper version which in turn was licensed to the Germans and Japanese, et. al. (forgot the names). These, not the Model T were the first mass produced cars in the form of a car we would recognize still today. That Caddy might also have been the first car with an electric starter and a key, but I'm not positive.
