Thanks.
I don't want Paul to think I am pushing him out of the way, but I did spend a lot of time on this
one as to find a Norwegian car is quite a challenge and a lot of fun looking.
Here is what I have found so far. I also found the same two photos.
It seems this car is a 1927 Geijer that was rebodied for a Torleif Aasgaard in the late 1930's.
I am working off a Norwegian language site and Google translate isn't working so I am using
my command of Swedish to try to sort the story out.
If I am correct, it was rebodied by the N. Jakobsens Karosserifabrikk. I can find almost nothing
yet on that firm but they did build commercial vehicles also I gather.
According to my information, there is not a lot left of the original Geijer except the signature front
bumper and the distinct emblem on the front of the motor hood/grille.
The motor has been changed as have the wheels but no information was given as to what car was
the donor. On the other hand, I believe the motor hood/grille came from a 1938 Chrysler as it is
almost identical to that marque. The wheels may also have come from that vehicle.
Chrysler products were imported in the 1934-1939 time frame into Norway as chassis and with complete
front end up to and including the windscreen. Most were bodied as taxi or hire car limousines.
I have two other photos somewhere of a Dodge and a Chrysler bodied by Strømmen Dodge which I will
edit into this post when I find them.
So, the basic chassis seems to be a 1927 Geijer with a lot of new stuff put onto it from my translation
of the article about the car.
Whether I am right or wrong, any other information would be most appreciated, a fascinating subject rarely
ever touched on.
