CHEJ - Cars made in Sweden, info from Konditori 100

Year and place: 1923, Nora

CHEJ was among the first race cars built in Sweden. Well, maybe it was more a rebuilt Ford.

Behind the hood engineer Carl Johanson had mounted an open aluminium body of his own design. Fenders and other unnecessary items were removed, and some parts replaced with his own improved ones.

The car only raced on ice tracks, performing well. (Until 1921, in Sweden speed races were only allowed on frozen lakes.)
