  1. The production version had a better looking front in my opinion. The insurance companies were against front-wheel drive when it first come out on the market, too dangerous... There's a website dedicated to these 1925-31 models, but is it still working? http://www.hells-confetti.com/
  2. The two first photos are of Wanderers, nr. 1 a six-cylinder and nr 2. a four-cylinder. Also a Hanomag 3/16 in the later photo, the smal sedan facing the back with it's spare tire to the viewer. The three last pictures depicts various eight-cylinder Horch convertibles
  3. Greta Garbo with the Packard Town Car with the body by Stockholms Hofslageri AB or maybe rather the American made version
  4. Gustaf L. M. Ericsson's 1904-05 Pope Toledo Model IV Tonneau. Ericsson was son of the Swedish Telephone pioneer L. M. Ericsson
  5. The 3-Litre Sunbeam was surely the most sporting car on the list of 1930 cars in the Royal Automobile Club of Sweden's calender that year. There were no Alfas, Bentleys or Bugattis listed.
  6. 1937 Maybach SW 38 with Transformations-Cabriolet body by German coachbuilder Spohn
  7. Top left Renault AX, top right Bugatti Type 35, Bottom left Talbot, bottom Right Alfa-Romeo P3. The Other three-A De Dion in the middle
  8. As the Speedster was used in Sweden I think it's hardly was ordered from an American mail order catalogue. Some of the Swedish coachbuilders made bodies for the Model T, also the Mercury Speedster body seems to have been relativelly more popular over there than in America. I was brought up with Swedish hot rod/classic car Magazines, and asumed therefore that the Mercury Speedster body was Number One Choice also in the US. But then came the Internet and I found MTFCA, there were other aftermarket bodies.
  9. 1905-1909, as the Model E is the earliest with this front end to my knowledge
  10. German Stoewer, made in the same factory as Polski-Fiats after WWII...
  11. Another photo from the 14th of June event 1921 from Austrian Allgemeine-Automobile Zeitung; a brand new Panhard-Levassor to the left and to the right an early Bugatti!
  12. 1904-1907 German Apollo Piccolo with 5 horsepower 704 cubiccentimeter engine https://www.spitzerer.de/historie/slevogt/piccolo_werb1.htm
  13. In my opinion it's French, the placement of the licence plate. Not Citroën and definately not Peugeot as a chromed headlight is clearly visible. Perhaps a Renault or some of the smaller marques Still active in the late 30s?
  14. The first race in Sweden 1905 on Lake Mälaren. All competitors is on the photo, there where only five participating cars at the event. To the left a Orient Buckboard or All-Velo as it was sold in Sweden, driver was engineer Carl Skånberg. Second a British Star driven by manager Erik Salomon. Third 1903-04 Cadillac Model A Tonneau, driver engineer H.A.Bertheau. Fourth Scania by engineer Viktor Wallenberg. Last a Cadillac Model B Tonneau, driver Richard Björkman.
  15. Remainds a bit of the De Dion engined 1899 Parisienne Victoria Combination preserved at Tekniska Muséet in Stockholm. https://digitaltmuseum.org/021026304939/personbil/media?slide=0 http://www.massingnickel.se/orgparis.html
  16. Front-wheel driven three-wheeler with two cylinder engine made by a Finish blacksmith near Tampere in the 1910s
  17. I have never seen a picture of a Peter & Moritz before, only read about them. Very early 20s German looking compared to the British Original:http://www.lightauto.com/Rover 8.html The angular bulge in the side of the hood is due to the horizontally opposed twin cylinder engine. Seems that hardly any P & M have survived:https://www.prewarcar.com/is-this-all-whats-left-of-peter-a-moritz
