Leif Holmberg Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) When comparing the wheels,my pictured car there seems to be a different type of rims with no wheel bolts? The picture I have was taken before 1920 just becuse the car was wrecked at that time.Leif in Sweden.

Layden B Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think it is a 1911 EMF that was lengthened in Sweden to make it a 7 passenger. We know Sweden had body builders that imported chassis that they then bodied so the skill to do this conversion was at hand. 1909-1911 EMF wheels were detachable, that is they had rings to take the tires off the wheels but the rims were not removable so there was not an inflated spare. In 1912 the demountable feature was added and thus the 6 lugs on each wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
