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.

After finding a picture of my great uncle's first car (an E-M-F) AND the original registration, I had to check the internet to see what was there. I never heard of an E-M-F before. The web site is great. The car's s/n was 14372, which makes it a 1910 model I believe. Uncle lived in Ridgefield, CT at the time. The registration "Expires December 31st, 1911, at midnight". I wonder if that car is still around.

Grandfather won 1911 International Light Car Race in the 1911 EMF.

Great pictures & history information. It is too bad that some of these buildings containing so much history have been allowed to fall into such disrepair. For someone like myself who is not familiar with the area, the maps & captions really give a sense of what it is now & how things were before.

I recently found site that listed almost every electric car ever built. It was a huge selection. I own a car not so old. It is a 1951 Studebaker Land cruiser. I know restoring will a breeze compared to your project. I would like to get an EMF auto if I could find one, but it seems that the most electrics made was the Waverly. Is that car easy to get? Thanks for your help and information.

We are putting on a Centennial of the 1908 American Grand Prize race in Savannah on November 20-23, 2008. Please check out my website. I would love to link to your site from ours. Your information is amazing. Please let me know what you think.

John, I really appreciate your passion as well. As the Great Gradnson of E. Leroy, it is nice to read about the family history. Please let me know if there is any information you are looking for that we may be able to provide.

hat an amazing website! John, your passion for these vehicles and their history is truly a bright spot on the internet. I have always been a Studebaker fan and a recent article lead me to the E-M-F cars. The initials made me take notice, one thing led to another and here I am. I am blown away by your over-all attention to detail and the history page.

Best Regards,
--Eric

There is a 1912 E.M.F. on display at the Dougherty Museum, one mile south of Longmont, Colorado on highway 287.

Just saw a traveling show here in Newbury Park, and was amazed and impressed at the cars and tip top shape they were all in. How fun! I belong to a HOG group (Harley Owener Group) and we also have a similar passion but nothing like what you guys are doing.

Love the show

Cool web site! I am in the Wichita A's Model A club with Tom Ruggles, and have been to his house to see his 1909 E. M. F. 5 passenger touring, as well as his unrestored Studebaker-EMF touring. He also owns 3 Model A's. These are great cars, and I wish I owned one too!
