Gatso was a Dutch car company founded just after the Second World War in 1948 by Dutch racing driver and inventor Maus Gatsonides. Originally he wanted to call his company Gatford, but, according to Ford, this name was too similar to the French word “matford”; so they forced Gatsonides to change the name of his company. Because the company went bankrupt after only a couple years, they only managed to build two models: the 4000 and the 1500 (the car in the picture above).

This way they didn’t use that many materials, so they could build more cars. In 1944 Volvo revealed the car to the car-hungry public. It was immediately a huge succes and orders poured in from all across Sweden. Yet it would take another three years before the production finally started.
