An excellent website. I wish one was available for my car;- a 1913 Flanders branded as Maxwell 50/6, as i can not find any others of my model car

John first of all you must have a great wife! I have been involved in some auto projects but not of the E.M.F.s magnitude I admire your courage. Good luck with your project

I have a postcard, that I think might be an E.M.F. If I e-mailed you a picture would you be willing to try and identify it. Right now I am at a dead end trying to get the proper identification Thank you James Whytock

My grandmother Grace told me when I was a little boy about the E M F tourer her husband bought. She called it the "Every Mechanical Fault". I believe they traded it for a Willy's Knight saloon. I have the radiator emblem. Is it nickel?

Love your car! I personally don't have a classic car of any type (yet), but do belong to a local car club that does a lot of fund-raising (namely, a big car show in July). I also do a lot of history/genealogy, & have come across this particular car in a lot of the research I do here in Oregon. Seems the locals really liked that car back in the day.

Great site, very informative.

Your site is terrific! My compliments again! The EMF 30 that I bought from Hugh Holbrock was charred in the fire at Hugh's former museum this past fall. I have now gotten through the issues related to insurance settlement etc and am going to sell the car. it s listed on Hemmings on line and craigslist in Chicago and Cincinnati. The car is still intact although the paint is destroyed and the brass will require replating. The leather top is badly damaged but enough remains to create a pattern to make the replacement top. The wood portions of the car will require refinishing, the windsheild and headlamps are cracked. The engine still turns over easilly. I have determined that I am unable to do a proper restoration, and am offering the car for sale. I will send you a couple of photos just FYI.

A very informative site - and the effort and information very much appreciated. I have recently acquired a Flanders 20 (engine no 68487 - chassis no ? where do I look please?) presented as a depot hack (or in English a shooting brake. How can identify the car as US or Canadian built? - Look forward to hearing from you - THanks Damian

Enjoyed your very well done collection. In my post card collection I have the very same 24 "pathfinder" post cards. ( about half of mine have the price changed to $1000 in red)

writing a short article for Unique Cars magazine on a 1909/10 model owned by Bruce Wright in Brisbane. You may know of the car. Your selection of old adverts is very useful as background and I will mention your site in the story.

Hi,

Your site was very helpful. I found 2 little pamphlets called "THE HYPEN" (Vol. 1 #1) printed by THE E-M-F Co. of Canada, Limited. You have given them a proper "history". Thanks - Lorne Shields

Thanks for all the work you did. At the present time I am working on a 1914 Studebaker SC touring car.

I found the tip on removing tarnish interesting and will try it. It has been my experience in restoring brass hub caps that trying to remove even the smallest of dents will result in cracking of the brass unless the cap is first annealed by heating it up with a torch to almost a dull red condition and then plunging it in cold water. The EMF was built in Detroit between the years of 1908 and 1912 by the Everitt Metzger Flanders Co. The 1908 - 1910 hub caps are the same size but plain with no name.

Enjoyed the item on restoring hubcap - especially the hint on bowl cleaner

nice job !!! I am a Rickenbacker car collector. I have been encouraged to gather info to write a more complete history of the Rickenbacker car. It seems that the histories of Eddie Rickenbacker do not contain much about this part of his life. Somewhat like he was embarrassed by the failure and wanted to forget it.

Very nice.
