Fossum (Norway) - AllCarIndex

Fossum was a Norwegian automobile manufacturer founded by Marcus Hansen Fossum in Oslo during the early 20th century. The company operated briefly between 1906 and 1907, during which time it developed two distinct automobile prototypes.

The first prototype was a high-wheeled buggy that featured a 2-cylinder air-cooled engine. The second prototype was designed with a single-cylinder water-cooled engine, resembling the appearance of the Curved Dash Oldsmobile, a notable vehicle of that era. Despite the innovative designs, Fossum faced challenges in securing the necessary financing to bring either model into mass production.

Ultimately, the lack of financial support led to the dissolution of the company, and Fossum's efforts in the automotive industry remained limited to these early prototypes.
