I am a bit baffled. Not because of Metz, but I cannot seem to find any reference to such a car. In the Netherlands.

The photo can be found online.  ;)

Shortly after building this car, the builder emigrated to the USA

In the list of cars registrated in Holland around the turn of the century I do not find Wormer, only Wormerveer. The same name pops up there constantly.

I think I found it.
Good find!


"Cees Waal met vrouw in zelfgemaakte auto voordat
hij onverwachts vertrok naar Amerika. Rechts nog de
gashouder." so the builder is Cees Waal. Picture was supposedly taken around 1915.

Waal had a bicycle repairshop (left)
