37PackardMan Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Not sure where I acquired this photograph, but possibly from a friend in Scotland. Can anyone identify it by the mascot or emblem on the front of the radiator?I can't even tell if it was built as a truck, or is a modified automobile.......anyway...it's neat and deserves to be identified.Thanks for looking...Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37PackardMan Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 ...but what car/truck used the Graef und Stift mascot???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olympic Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Graef und Stift was an expensive auto built in Austria. Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were riding in one when they were assasinated in Sarajevo thus starting WWI. I believe the company also built some trucks.

Dave@Moon Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Definitely a Graef und Stift truck. The hood ornament and radiator badge are unmistakable. They began building trucks in earnest during WW1, and from then on they were all or most of their production through the company's eventual merger into the MAN concern.
