Well it appears you are more correct than I was, I had it as simply "Adler Le Mans'. Seems not everything you read on the internet is true. ;D
Found this whilst confirming your answer though.

There are some interesting news:
Wendax´photo shows the car with an Ansbach/Bavaria license plate, which is my home region.
After there was a search article in the newspapers some people remembered this car and it´s history in Ansbach.
Back then in the early 1950s it has been owned by Franz Haas, who had a bicycle shop in the Pfarrstraße until the mid 1950´s.
Some people remembered that Herr Hass had a chauffeuer named Erwin who drove him around in this car.
Franz Haas, the son of the original owner is 97 now, lives in Canada and remembers the car.
Unfortunately the following newspaper articles do not tell if the whole Haas family went to Canada and took the car with them
or if a soldier of the Ansbach based US-Army brought it to the american continent later.
It unearthed at a New York scrapyard years later and is one of the three known survivors...
