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.
