looks like you load it up with lug bolts and just zip them on... sorta
Skip
Perhaps something similar only, the idea seems to have come and gone several times over the decades...
Only thing I can find on this one is it appears to have been made (sold?) by the Automatic Wrench & Tool, Inc. of Cleveland, OH...
Can not find a thing about the company itself tho....
Did other cars besides Hudson and VW use bolts like in the illustration ?
Yes, it seems that bolts were quite common years ago.
