Hi everyone. Bert helped point me in the direction of Mercedes is anyone able known which model of the side? Thank you in advance for your time.
Hi Fliegerhorst,
I've spent some time on this interesting question, but still don't have a definitive answer. Given the low resolution of the photo to me the main id points are the curvature of the wings and the door swing. The boot with the double spares which is not that common may or may not be relevant. The Type 260 Stuttgart has a similar boot but it looks shorter, the front wings more gradually curved and the front door swings the wrong way:

The same goes for the Type 200 Tourenwagen (It's hard to find 4 door M-B's of that period without suicide doors front or back):

To my eye the model with the most similar body lines is the Type 350 of 1928-29 but the standard model has the side mounted spare:

So please take this as "food for thought" and hopefully someone can come up with other ideas.
Cheers,
Max

Hi Max,


thank You very much for Your excellent reply. I have another suggestion:
how about a Mercedes-Benz type 260 Stuttgart (W 11)?

Best regards

Bert

Hi Max. Appreciate your food for thought. I try to upload higher quality photo but said over limit size so sorry. I didn't notice the door handle situation. Could it be possibly a 15/70/100 ? bonnet might not be flat enough. On a second look at the bonnet it looks like they have it folded over from mid section and working on engine. Do they even fold that way or is that an optical illusion. Adrian. Hopefully a better quality photo for you

Hi Bert,
That was my first thought but unlike the Tourenwagen in your photo the body style of the Cabriolet D I show in the first photo had suicide doors in the front. But you make a good case.
Cheers,
Max

Hello Adrian,
Thanks for the better photo. I still can't tell for sure whether that is a flat grill or the Vee shape of a 15/70/100. The body style looks good to me but it has 12 spoke wheels unlike the picture.

Interesting question, eh?

Hi Alan,
The basis of that umbau (and many others) was the Ford V8-G81A Spezial Kabriolett ca. 1938-41.

Hi dredd,

to Your quesion about the Büssing trucks:

the first two from the left could be the type 550 from the year 1936 (five flaps = engine FD 6, with the old cabin, but already with the modern designed radiator grille); the third could be the type 650, the next three could be the type 500.

Regards

Bert

Hi Patrick,
I think it is an NSU Tourenwagen ca. 1928. Here is a similar example from Oswald's Deutsche Autos 1920-1945.
