For one point: Identify this old car.

I was searching for the answer of the Trevethan in the wrong place so with this one I'll start by the most obvious, is it from USA?

It looks like a Scandinavian homebuilt to me, but I have no idea regarding further details.

Is it a Dana made by Maskinfabriken Dana from Denmark?
I was unable to find the puzzle car, it's impossible to search Dana, hundreds of millions of car sites.
The puzzle car seems to be air cooled and the Dana had an air cooled Peugeot engine.

My hunch may have been correct.  I have located a blog that says that this car is a “homebuilt” from the Loimaa  area of Finland.  The blog contributor says that the car was constructed by one  Frans Heikkilä who owned a plant that made agricultural machines.  No time frame is given, but I would estimate that the car was built around 1910.
