Front-wheel driven three-wheeler with two cylinder engine made by a Finish blacksmith near Tampere in the 1910s

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

It's a German make called Peter & Moritz.
Wasn't that the German version of the British two-cylinder air-cooled Rover Eight?

Flea market in Paris 1908. You could buy an already then antique Renault. But I bet that my countrymen would have been more interested in those single cylinder engines-something to motorize your boat with. (Photos from Austrian Allgemeine Automobil-Zeitung 5.4.1908)

Professor Harald Kyrklund at Helsinki Polytechnics experimented with gas generators way before WWII
Found this newsreel from 1938:

Svensk Motortidning also featured gas generators alredy in 1924. Scania-Vabis truck with gas generator:
At another occasion a similary equipped French Panhard-Levassor truck was presented.

Looks like a Maxwell radiator.
I remembering mentioning of a Maxwell-style aftermarket radiator on the Model T Ford Club of America's forum some years ago

Sorry, but the instructions for opening the link are in Finnish, which I flunked in high school.
Click on the Arrow sign in the centre on the picture.
BTW quite a stylish custom front end on the Fargo Truck

1931 Chevrolet coupe de ville in Finland. This is a mystery car in that it apparently arrived from the US already built like that. It looks to me to be a standard Fisher four door sedan with modifications to the driver's compartment. From what I can decipher from the ad it is a 'city car with an interior as fine as more expensive models'. The upper part of the test refers to the five passenger coupe model.
It was a gift from General Motors to the President of Finland Pehr Edvin Svinhufvud given on 6th of June 1931. It was reporter that the aged President get so exited that hela promised to learn to drive and get a driver's licence.
Yes, it arrived already built like that from the US, probably General Motors Nordiska Ab in Sweden was somewhat involved.

Ok, I know it's a train but there are probably a few autos within a mile or so. Big as that engine is you could hide a parking lot behind it.
At least the T1 was designed by Raymond Loewy. Only lately I have learned that he was more a train guy than a car guy despite designing the iconic first new post-war Studebaker

What are the cylindrical devices hanging off the rear springs? I have seen these in period photos of several cars. Were they dampers?

Found this postcard in my late uncle's belongings. Nordwijk aan Zee in Holland.
Prewar Hanomag Rekord, FWD two-stroke Aero Minor (CZ), Fiat 500, Vauxhall, 1949-53 Ford Prefect (GB), 1946-48 Ford, Buick and 2 x Tempo Matador three-wheelers...
The somewhat battered two-door to the right on the other side of the road is a Skoda 1101

In my newspaper this morning was a brief mentioning about a car accident here in Helsinki almost 83 yeas ago. Two pedestrians were killed, the car was a Ford "of sporting type". That sounded interesting I quickly found a newspaper clipping. It was a 1934 Ford Model 40 De Luxe Coupe that was involved in reckless driving.

This photo was posted on an NZ website with the caption 'Cars in NZ, WW1 era'.
To me it is obviously not NZ, it looks more like central Europe.
Maybe someone recognises the uniforms?
The small car on the left with central steering is unusual.
The smaller car on the left is a German Wanderer "Puppchen" with tandem-seating
