My Dear Friend, Let me inform you, I got your email address from a mail Directory and decided to mail you for a permission to go ahead. I am Mrs. William Linda from United Kingdom, married to Dr. Harry R.William who worked with Texaco Oil Company in Malaysia before he died in a ghastly motor accident on his way to a board meeting. My husband and I were married but without any child. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry and presently I am 69 Years old. When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of $10.M. (Ten Million U.S. Dollars) with a Bank. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authority to somebody to receive it on my behalf. I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. So I think the best thing to do is to use the money for charity purposes. I want a person who has the fear of God and trustworthy, whom I can make the beneficiary of my late husband's fund deposited with the bank, so that the person can get the money and utilize 70% of this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact details of the bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as stated herein and keep this contact confidential till such a time this fund gets to your custody. This is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth. Please contact me on this email william.tony74@yahoo.com or misswilliamlinda@hotmail.com I await your urgent reply. Regards, Mrs.William Linda

I am looking to acquire a brass era car and there may be a 1912 EMF available for sale in the local area. I was navigating your excellent site for more information on the make. All I know at this point is it is an original vehicle that has not been restored however it does run.

My great grandfather is the Joseph Mack whose company printed one of the brochures. Apparently! He did printing for most of the Detroit auto makers.

At a garage sale this weekend I bought some copies of the Studebaker Drivers' Club magazine. The March 1997 issue contained a long, illustrated article on Studebaker plants, including those on Piquette Avenue. I'm happy to find more pictures on your site. Thanks.

Dear Sir, I am a grandson of E. Leroy Pelletier and was just 11 months old when he passed in Sept 1938. My father lived and ultimately died in Southfield MI. My parents were divorced in 1942 and I moved with my mother to St. Louis.

I enjoy your article about the E-M-F history and the characters involved. I would enjoy any addition additional discussions abour E. LeRoy's history .

The following was written by my Mother who was born in 1902. One day our father said he was going to Jennings on business. He took someone with him and when he came home he was driving a nice new E.M.F. automobile and the other person drove his horses home. I was probably eight years old and that car looked magnificent. It was one of the first cars in the area. It was all open and with our dusty roads it became a problem so Mother got a bolt of linen cloth and made each of us girls and herself a “duster” that we could take off when we got to where we were going. We did love to ride in our car. It had to be started and warmed up quite a while before we could go anywhere. The lights were acetylene (carbide). We were spending Sunday afternoon at some friends home and they had a goat. When we got ready to go home we found the goat had chewed some of the rubber tubes going to the lights so we had no lights. That meant 12 overnight guests.

Just saw an EMF 30 at a car show near me. I also enjoy the early technology of the cars. Am a Chevrolet guy myself (35, 37, 39), but do enjoy others. I have a picture of the EMF on my blog @ pathofthewarrior.org. I may be looking for an resto project as therapy for the military down the road. Bet parts are almost impossible to find.....Michael

Attended Horseless Carriage show in Reading, PA on Sunday, May 15. Enjoyed seeing 3 EMF 30 touring cars in beautiful restored condition at this show! Prompted me to revisit EMF history and found your webpage. Was interested to see that Bill Cuthbert authored your spotter's guide - he has been a staunch Hupmobile club member for many years, and wrote the definitive Hupmobile history book. Do you know how he is doing? I have heard that he is in ill health.....

My Grandfather, Otis Davis, had the first know Montana car dealership in Rosebud, Montana. He sold EMF cars. I am on the Board of directors for a museum in Billings and we want to do a display honoring Otis and the EMF automobile. I am looking for some ads that EMF might have had that I can copy or display and any information on the cars that I can find. Can you help? Thanks, Don
