Hi!
You could read a lot from that paper.
You got the chassienumber on the upper right corner on the paper.
It also says that the car came to Scania-wabis in Södertälje in august of 55. The car was controlled in Södertälje 26 of august 1955 by a man named Gösta Nilsson. Controlled i mean that the paper of the car and the chassienumber on the car matched.
The 3 of september 1955 a man called Ivar Karl Arne Nilsson bought the car.
Since he lived in Lidköping the car got a licenseplate with a letter R in the beginning. Upper left corner. Says R 30921
In the old days when we got another style of licenseplate you could see where in Sweden the car came from. R says skaraborgs län. I Think you could translate Län to county.
Where i live we had plates with the letter H in the beginning. Meaning the car was from Kalmar Län.
That would say that if i bougth the car from Ivar Nilsson and moved it to my hometown in Kalmar it should have a new numberplate with the letter H in the beginning. There was 24 different combinations of letters.
The 24 of april 1957 Ivar Nilsson sold the car to Gunnar Johansson. He lived in Lidköping aswell so the car could have the same licenseplate.
On the lower right i think you could see when the car did the yearly control. A safety control. I´m not sure but i think ASB means Svensk Bilprovning. Maybe some one else could tell us if i´m right.
I don´t know if you could get some more paper from Sweden on the car. I have paper of my car similar to this, that state all the former owners of my car.
Hope you all could understand what i´m saying here because it´s not always easy to write in English.

Could you tell me if scania-vabis is a place or dealership or? My June 55 bug also a strato silver was shipped there in 1955. But other than that I know nothing of its swedish history.
Also is there a way of getting the history of an old swedish car from the government in Sweden?

Maybe we want to see your car now  |
Yes you're right, why not
There even is a Swedish spare tire (forbidden in the Netherlands) and a manual pump on the dashboard for window cleaning. Is this also typical Swedish?

Yes, a beautiful car indeed! I love the driver side mirror and the "Washer Bottle". I've been looking for one of those for some 30 yrs. Now I at least have a picture of what I'm looking for. Please let me know if you ever run across another one.

I have the bracket, I just need an SWF glass bottle, similar to one in previous post. 50's glass and a working top is not easy to come by.
