1920 Electrolux "vacuum cleaner" advertisement car

ropat53 · « **Reply #3 on:** June 17, 2013, 02:50:29 PM »

Yes Electrolux vacuum cleaner advertisement car, but you have to tell me who made it and on what chassis.
It's a few years younger.
Locked for CrazyAutopuzzler

Czech ?

targhediferro · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2013, 06:24:07 AM »

Perhaps Swedish, and if yes a Scania?

ropat53 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 11, 2013, 11:39:13 AM »

Not Czech and only Swedish connection is Electrolux, so not Scania.

1924 Minerva with Drauz coachwork

ropat53 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2013, 02:36:16 PM »

Yes that's right.
One point for you but I'm still unable to award it, so unless Carnut does it for me, you'll have to wait until the problem is solved.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2013, 02:38:10 PM »

To be precise it has to be "Elektro Lux" as can be seen in the original picture.

ropat53 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2013, 03:01:34 PM »

I changed the name, because the puzzle car says Elektro Lux, but I did find another that says Elektrolux.
To further confuse things I also found ads that say Electro-Lux and Electrolux, I wonder when the brand name changed?
Unaltered picture of puzzle car.
Another different car that says Elektrolux
and some ads.

From wikipedia:

Quote

The origins of Electrolux date back to a 1918 cooperative agreement between sales company Svenska Elektron AB and kerosene lamp maker Lux AB.

In 1919 a Svenska Elektron AB subsidiary, Elektromekaniska AB, became Elektrolux. (the spelling was changed to Electrolux in 1957.) It initially sold Lux-branded vacuum cleaners in several European countries.

I guess they used the Electrolux name depending on the country's language before the name officially changed.

I was finally able to add your point, the problem seems to have been solved.
