Then we reached the finish line with this car book as well, and now a total of 21,251 cars and their owners from 1925 are searchable on Slekt1.
In the collection of cars and car owners from 1925, you can find names of car owners, registration numbers, place of residence, what the car was used for, what brand it was, and where in the country the car was registered.
In many cases, you can also find out the occupation of the car owner, as the name was often written with a title, such as painter, farmer, worker, district doctor, etc.
Now that the car book from 1925 has been digitized and searchable in database form, it has also become possible to gain a new insight into how the car fleet in Norway was in 1925.
For example, by searching for * in the factory field, you can find out which cars were electric. In total, 150 cars (out of 21,251) were electric in 1925, which is perhaps 150 cars more than you thought?
If you search for «Ford» in the factory field, you can see that as many as 7,715 of the cars that drove on Norwegian roads in 1925 were Fords.
Another fun fact you quickly discover is that every fourth car was registered in Oslo.
Do it yourself search in Bilboka, whether you want to paint a picture of automotive Norway in 1925 or find out if your own family could be found behind the wheel.
As usual, it's free to search, but you need to have a subscription to Slekt1 to see details about the matches.
Thank you to everyone who subscribes and thus contributes to the further development of Slekt1.
