A great old photo sent in by James Goss. He says of the photo Attached is a photo of my grandfather, Percy Goss (Hygiene, Colorado), in his EMF. I believe it is a 1909 model. He later owned 1917 and 1924 Studebaker touring cars. I don't have any more info about the car, except that a note on the back of one photo stated that the car was red. Thanks James for the photo. |

Here is a lovely young lady in a brand new 1909 E-M-F Touring. Note how it appears that this E-M-F is all one color. Posted 2019-10-31 - 301 |

This photo is part of a much larger photo. This part shows 3 1909 E-M-Fs lined up in front of what was, at the time, a new building for the Studebaker dealer in Alva OK. The print at the bottom of the photo says "Mathews Garage, Alva Okla". This photo was sent to me by Bud Martin in Alva OK whose grand folks sold these cars. Bud says of the car on the right side of the photo: "...is the John F. Parsons family. My Mother is the baby on my Grandmothers lap (Sina Parsons). Mother was born 3-20-1910 so the picture may have been taken early fall of 1910 or 1911." The entire picture shows 12 cars lined up that include 1909 and 1910 E-M-Fs, a Flanders and what I think is a Studebaker Garford. I am attempting to get the entire photo uploaded, it is quite large. Thanks to Bud for the great photos. |

This is the entire photo mentioned above. I had to scan this in three parts and assemble them back together. By the time I got the photo down to a size that I could upload to this server, I had lost some of the quality of the original. This photo shows 12 cars lined up in front of what was, at the time, a new building for the Studebaker dealer in Alva OK. The print at the bottom of the photo says "Mathews Garage, Alva Okla". If we number the cars from 1-12 starting on the left, then it appears cars 2 - 7 are 1909 E-M-Fs. Car 8 may be a Studebaker Garford? Car 9 appears to be another 1909 E-M-F 5 Passenger Touring. Cars 1, 10 and 11 appear to be 1910 E-M-Fs. Car 12 is a Flanders. Notice the earlier style straight fron axle on cars 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9. Notice the small round radiator emblem instead of the embossed E-M-F logo on cars 1, 10 & 11. You can see the perforated running boards on car 5 and a shadow from the sun through the runningboard on car 6. The buildings are another story. The brick building directly behind all the cars was the new building for the Studebaker dealer. The building to the left of it says "Studebaker" above the door and the little wooden building to the left of it says "Studebaker" also. I wish you could see the detail in the copy of the photo I have. I could go on and on about this photo. Differences in cowl lights, horns, choke wires on the front of the cars. I have spent hours looking at this photo. This photo was sent to me by Bud Martin in Alva OK whose grand folks sold these cars. Thanks again to Bud for a great photo and for all the time spent on the phone discussing it. |

A number of people have sent me this photo, and I finally got a scan that was a scan of the original to post. Boy, something really did an number on this E-M-F Touring. I am guessing it is a 1909 by the running boards. Were the "see-through" running boards used after 1909? Posted 2001-04-24 - 600 |
||
|
Another damaged E-M-F. Might be a 1910 E-M-F, but I placed it here due to the running boards. I wonder what happened to this poor car. Posted 2019-10-31 - 601 |

Stan Seleen sent me this picture of his ancestors 1909 E-M-F Touring. He says of the picture: This is Gunnar and Eva Everson with daughter Clara, Esther Seleen and Ruth Seleen out in the Everson's E-M-F sometime before 1912 (probably the 1910 timeframe). Thanks to Stan for allowing it to appear here. |

This is a picture of the rear end of the 1909 E-M-F used as the pathfinder for the 1909 Glidden Tour. I believe the man on the left smoking the cigar is Dai Lewis, the official AAA pathfinder. I found this picture on the Michigan State University Website called "The Making of Modern Michigan. Select "Browse the Collection by Subject" then scroll down to "Glidden Tour". There are almost 2000 pictures from the 1909 Glidden Tour and you can spend days looking at them. |

This picture is of the E-M-F Display at an auto show in what appears to be 1909 from the cars pictured. This would have been the publics first look at an E-M-F Automobile. Posted 2006-03-11 - 680 |

This picture appears here courtesy of Dan Willemin, whose ancestor is pictured in the car. The car appears to be a 1909 E-M-F 5-Passenger touring. Notice the straight front axle (as opposed to the dropped front axle on later cars). I suppose the straight axle could mean this is a wide-track model, since all the wide track front axles were straight (I think). You can also see the slight sweep upward of the rear fender and the embossed E-M-F 30 in the radiator tank. Dan says of the picture: "My grandfather (who was 17 at the time) is driving; his father is in the passenger seat. Russell Orr was my grandfather; his father was George H Orr. The postcard had a one cent stamp, was postmarked November 12, 1909, and the message on the back was "50 miles from the badlands and all is fine". You'll also notice the reflection of the photographer is in the windshield! By the way, my mother was Russell's daughter." Thanks to Dan for allowing it to appear here. |

This picture was sent to me by Graeme Cocks who is writing a history of these motoring events in Australia. Graeme says of the picture: William Best driving an EMF during the 1910 Bullfinch gold rush in Western Australia. This was said to be the first gold rush in history which used automobiles rather than horses, camels or bicycles to go out in search of gold. William Best also won the first four wheeled motor race in Western Australia in 1909 driving a Darracq. Graeme Cocks is writing a history of these motoring events and can be contacted on gacocks@iinet.net.au Thanks to Graeme for allowing it to appear here. |

A nice picture of the front of a 1909 Touring. Check out the Carbide Generator. Looks like a Michigan License plate. Not sure how I ended up with this photo. I found it while cleaning up some files on the computer. Posted 2009-04-17 - 690 |

This photo was sent to me with the question of what year the E-M-F was. It is my opinion that it is a 1909 E-M-F 5-Passenger Touring. My main reason is the design of the rear fender. The "swoop" up at the rear of the fender is a 1909 characteristic which you do not see in a 1910. It also has some 1910 Characteristics, like the back door with out the line across it. It looks like it is one color, like all red like a 1909. 1910s had a lighter color (yellow) chassis and wheels and a darker (Dark Blue) body. I also do not see the E-M-F Script on the Radiator core which was added in 1910. The Tank of the radiator does not seem to have the round EMF tag like a 1910 would have. 1909s had E-M-F Embossed into the brass upper tank. So it is my opinion that this is a 1909, possibly a late 1909 due to the 1910 style door on the body. Any disagreements? Thanks to the AACA for allowing it to appear here. |

This is a picture I took on the 2006 E-M-F Factory Outing Tour of Scott Langeneger's 1909 E-M-F. Much discussion has led us to list this car as a Double Rumble Roadster/Runabout. The Parts manual for 1909 shows this exact body without the rear seat as a "Runabout" body, and the double rear seat is listed as a double rumble. This car is engine number 2908. I also found a picture of this car (before Scott owned it) on a Postcard. CLICK HERE to see the picture. |

This is a picture submitted by Gordon Langeneger of what looks like a 1909 E-M-F fitted with a Town Car or Taxis body. Notice it is sitting in front of an E-M-F Dealership. I do not remember seeing this body listed in any of the E-M-F documentation, but it was a common practice to have a custom body builder build a special body like this for a chassis. I would love to have this car in my garage. Thanks to Gordon for this great picture. Posted 2011-06-08 - 100 |

This is another picture of the same 1909 Touring with a town-car addition. NOTE: This picture and the one above were taken in front of the E-M-F Factory on Piquette Street in Detroit. Posted 2011-06-08 - 105 |
