looks like you load it up with lug bolts and  just zip them on... sorta

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....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Did other cars besides Hudson and VW use bolts like in the illustration ?

Yes, it seems that bolts were quite common years ago.
