Svenska Automobilfabriken

Svenska Automobilfabriken (SAF) was founded in Bollnäs in December 1919. They assembled US cars based on Pullman Motor Co chassises bought when Pullman went bankrupt in 1917 and fitted them with coachworks and adapted them for Swedish conditions. The engine was a Golden, Belknapp & Swartz giving 32 hp. It was fitted with a Stromberg carburettor and had a 50 litre gasoline tank. People who earlier had worked on Rengsjöbilen were among the employees. SAF bought 40 Pullman chassises, and managed to build 28 SAF cars were built before the company went bankrupt in 1921. The remaining stock (with or without bodywork) was sold out over a few years. [cite book
