Flanders and E-M-F.

Walter Flanders had his hands on many different companies.  He started out selling tools to and advising Henry Ford.  Before not to long he was working for Ford full time. He was instrumental in increasing sales and streamlining production.  He moved on to form the E-M-F car company with William Metzger and Barney Everitt.  From there he took control of Studebaker.  The Flanders Manufacturing Company was born on January 10, 1911.  This company made the Flanders 4 motorcycle and supplied many parts for Studebaker cars.


The Flanders factory became the Wilson foundry sometime after 1912.   The company moved to Detroit and went bankrupt in 1914

Flanders 4 at the dirt track.

Appears to be a street bike with the bars flipped.

Mclaren P1.

Best looking Mclaren yet?  Maybe.  Looks better with the wing down.

Vekst boardtracker.

A really nice boardtrack tribute.  What makes this even more amazing is that it was built in his apartment using a few Harbor Freight tools!  Well done.  View more here and here.
