Asset Overview
A realistic model of the Swedish 1892 steam car "Cederholmaren". Currently the oldest, still functioning Swedish-built car in the world.
The car was contructed in Ystad, Sweden by two brothers, Anders Cederholm, a painter, and Jöns Cederholm, who was a blacksmith. The cartwright Eliasson also helped by making the seats and some wooden details. Only two examples of the car were ever constructed, the first one broke down and then crashed the very first time it was driven, it was very hard to drive and had no brakes. After crashing the first model the brothers constructed a second one, which was easier to drive. This car had poor reliability, but the brothers managed to take some pleasure trips in it. The car was mocked by the people in Ystad and was later left sitting until Manfred Almquist renovated it nearly 100 years later.
