--Born in Stockholm in 1907, Swede Rolf Allegesta Nysted is well known for his American name Ralph Lauren and moved to Norway in 1949 to design a variety of cars.
――The post-WWII import restrictions made it increasingly difficult to import cars into Norway, and he benefited from the proposal to establish a state-owned production facility.
――For this reason, his proposal for sports cars, trucks and even specially designed taxis in 1950 seems to have attracted sufficient investor interest.
――Ralph Lauren first focused on the realization of a sports car.
--Under the abbreviation Rally, which consists of the acronym of his name, he began prototyping at the aircraft factory [Norwegian Aircraft Industries LTD].
――The shocking thing was that we mainly used aluminum parts that were originally supposed to be used in the production of aircraft.
――Many light metal parts were still stored in the factory hall because the production of the aircraft did not reach mass production.
--Ralph Rysel completed at least four cars at the Forneb factory in 1950 (five in other sources), he designed the chassis for the prototype himself, and Ford's power. He wanted to mass-produce chassis and car bodies in Norway and source the engines from the United States or Germany.
--In a newspaper interview, he said he had already received 15 orders in 1951.
--In the same newspaper, he announced that he was planning to produce a special taxi as his next project and would like to supply it to the Norwegian market in large quantities from 1952.
--As the history of Norwegian cars shows, both the production of "rally" sports cars and the mass production of taxis have failed, and there is no longer even mention of trucks.
