VintageLiterature Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi all, I recently acquired a large collection of original car and truck design blueprints and some drawings from the late 1920s-1930s. All signed with the name G.M. Ross. I acquired them from Germany but they appear to originate from Denmark (Danish text) Does anyone have any information on the coachbuilder / company / designer? Some examples attached but there are many more in the collection Thanks, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Guitar Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It might be worth posting these on the Coachbuild.com European forum. Someone there might know of a coachbuilder in Odense. https://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=220 The drawing with the Hoffman front wheel drive setup is interesting. I don't imagine any of those ever got built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on additional searches, this seems to be "De Forenede Automobilfabrikker" or Thrigehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrige_(automobile) The overall lot is a mix of cars and commercial trucks, as well as a few ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 This blueprint looks to be for a Bentley, perhaps a Speed Six. Clearly, G.M. Ross was a skilled, talented designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I see you have some of them listed on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/str/classicallydriven?rt=nc&_sop=10&_pgn=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross was definitely a very talented designer and there are a very wide range of vehicles and body styles in this collection including many commercial trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted here seeking information rather than sale but am open to discussing if anyone is interested in them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
