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 enlisted in the military and spend 24 years, moved back to the Detriot in 1978 working for Brooks & Perkins and in 2004, we moved to Hanahan, SC (Charleston area. My phone number is (843) 906-6374. 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

I'm a bit of a motor head but did not realize there was a car called the everitt.

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

Great site. Loved the "not responsible" section! Currently looking at a 1911 for sale on HCCA and trying to find more about the history. I'm looking for a reliable touring car as I love to drive. Your thoughts on EMF's reliability would be appreciated. Thank you.
