IDENTIFICATION AND DATING: Windhoff Automobile 1908-1914
Our good friend Leif Holmberg (Sweden)
with whom we regularly correspond on identification of of car photos is
currently helping the Torsakers Photohistoric Society to
identify cars and motorcycles. Came across a number of photos of a
little known German car, the Windhoff. Windhoff started in 1889 making
railway rolling stock and industrial plant, and later automobile
components. In 1908 they started making complete cars. Not very much
about them on the internet. Click...more.
