During the Second World War, driving wood carburetor vehicles was the only way for many people to be mobile on a large scale. In the early 1940s, the gas generators used made enormous progress. Today, hardly any of these converted vehicles still exist, with the exception of the 1948 Ford V8 Super Deluxe portrayed in this report, which is equipped with a complete Royal wood carburetor system and presents itself unrestored but in beautiful original condition. This report deals with the developments and characteristics of mobile gas generation and its use in automobiles, using the example of a 1948 Ford V8 Super Deluxe. The article is illustrated with many current and historical pictures, as well as several brochures and technical documents.
