In this unusual Norwegian car built in the early 1920's, the driver occupies the back seat with his passenger in front. The automobile was displayed in connection with the 75th Anniversary of a Norwegian company, A/S Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikker, who built only two of the cars. The vehicles were designed for possible use in mail delivery on the narrow rural roads of the time. The car had a steel chassis and body of hand-hammered aluminum sheeting. In Winter, the front wheels could be replaced by sledrunners. The company today manufactures automobile parts for some of Europe's largest car makers, with Volvo as the main buyer.
