Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi!Here is another antique automobile photo. This was publiced on a local veteran car magazine - called "Mobilisti". They told that this is a car locally manufactured in Sortavala - this used to be a Finnish town in Carelia, a area that we were forced to give Russia after WW2. My believe is that this is a International High Wheeler from round 1910. Again would like to hear support my idea or then say what is the true make and model of the car.You´ll have been of great help so far.Juha KaitanenTurku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I was told that the high-wheeler was strictly an American breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Hi!Some International High Wheelers found their way to Finland, too. It is not totally US breed as one could think. Here is a photo of IHC from 1910/11. The car is driven in Oulu area. There are few extra gasoline containes because they are out of town and far from nearest filling station. This IHC is actually restored and I later on add some photos of it on this handsome forum.JuhaTurku, Finland Edited January 10, 2010 by Juha Paavo Kaita add a photo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Paavo Kaita Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi!Here are two more photos of High Wheelers in Finland. The almost fully restored is the one in the earlier photo from Oulu area. The second photo show just a body found from a barn in Eastern Finland. Hope you find these photos interesting.JuhaTurku, Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
