Not them.

It's the only coachbuild that I've found from this company. There regular business was something else.

Or from Amsterdam S&vB (Rijtuig- en Zadelmagazijn Schutter & van Bakel)?

None of the above, but it is from Amsterdam!

Schutter & Van Bakel ?

Thats how we confirmed it was from Amsterdam

Not them.

Motorcycle buissness?

[guido66]

no, they were in the car business, but not known for their coachbuilding .

[Amsterdam]

Did they import cars from the US?

[guido66]

Yes!

[Amsterdam]

So if it is Cadillac related...is it  1917 Glide CeHa by Cadillac House?
They were originally from Delft but moved to Amsterdam....good move if I say so myself

[guido66]

I'll forgive you the typo 

It is indeed the 1917 Glide "CeHa"

Very well done 

CeHa is how C-H is pronounced in Dutch. C-H of course stands for Cadillac House. I re-read my source and they were actually only a Cadillac dealer. They tried to become car importers, first with Glide and later with GN but they went bankrupt in 1920.

Thanks!

Fixed the typo though..I hate those

The car was called "Glide Six";

[guido66]

Nice find, but this particular model wasn't the only one with the "six" addition. I think it sometimes was called Glide and sometimes Glide-Six. in one advert they named this particular model "sporting-four"  

[DeAutogids]

Then I would assume we need to call it a Glide-Six Sporting Four (CeHa)?
