Hi I have not seen Running Boards like those before. The moldings are different compared what I´m used to.
No Ford logo. The fenders and running boards comes fråm a 2 seater open Ford Model T 1923 ( runabout).
What year did Ford use those Running Boards or are they an after market product ???
Please make a comment ! mail me at info@netclassics.com
The dark car is a Chrysler Royal 1938 that was sold new in Stockholm Sweden and it is still in Stockholm.

This is the cooling system for the Model T. No water pump. Those were possible to buy as otions at the after market.
Detta är T-Fordens kylsystem. Original från fabriken var de inte försedda med vattenpump. Detta erbjöds på eftermarknaden

Production started in 1958 at “Marieholms Bruk” . The total production was of much higher numbers than we often hear and certainly there were moore than 600 boats manufactured. According to the original manufacturing documentation from factory 1958-1965, which I have in my possession, the total number of boats made at the factory 2737 pieces which then covers all Marieholms boats including SW16. A total of Marieholm made Sweet Sixteen 1958-1965’s are 583 with numbers starting at number 100. Manufacturing table can be found further down on this page.
The origin of the Sweet Sixteen is from the US. Before the start of the manufacturing process a plug, ie mold, was imported from US. Marieholms former production manager until 1965, says that the American one cockpit version never was made by Marieholm.
Bottom design culminated several time during the period 1958-1965. A more distinct bottom shape with 12-degree V-bottom came about in 1965 and available on the successor Canberra. For the first production series was Attwood equipment used but they were later replaced local manufacturers.
A small number of boats were built or prepared for inboard stern drive. The boat bottom was reinforced with beams. They were also used for engine bed.
In swedish:
Tillverkningen kom igång 1958 på Marieholms Bruk efter att man först hade planerat att ha tillverkning i lokaler på KEX-fabriken norr om Göteborg Styren och livsmedel går inte så bra ihop så Marieholms Bruk blev den rätta platsen. Den totala tillverkningen var klart större än vad vi ofta hör och med säkerhet var antalet tillverkade över 600 st. Enligt original tillverkningsdokumentation från fabriken 1958-1965, som jag har i min ägo, var det totala antalet tillverkade båtar vid fabriken 2737 st vilket då omfattar samtliga Marieholms båttyper inklusive SW16. Totalt av Marieholm tillverkade Sweet Sixteen 1958-1965 är 583st med en numrering som startar vid 100. Tillverkningstabellen återfinns längre ner på denna sida.

Rutan är också ett kapitel för sig. Märk väl att de första båtarna hade en ruta som inte satt i någon metallram.
