Looks like a Mercedes 28/95 of about 1922, but who the coachbuilder was, I can't guess.

Looks like a Benz 27/70 with a special Coupé de Ville body. Maybe Kühlstein/Berlin was the coachbuilder..

Neither Mercedes nor Benz. However, a Mercedes engine is under the hood / bonnet. The body was not by Kühlstein/Berlin.

Then it might be a saxonian "Elite S18 18/70 PS or a 18/96 PS Coupé de Ville", built in Brand-Erbisdorf from 1923-26 when they´ve changed to flat cooling masks again.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on September 09, 2008, 04:59:03 AM
Not one of those...

Post by: grobmotorix on September 09, 2008, 12:12:28 PM
Hmmm, I was quite sure as Elite used engines that based on Mercedes design.

This will get hard.

Most ca.1919 luxury cars from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia featured those "Spitzkühler" type of edgy cooling masks.

So let´s begin from the start:

Is it german?

If I do understand you correctly (am not quite sure about it..) I can assure you that Mr. P-Jee is out of competition on that contest. My archive of books is hardly the tenth of his — as well is my knowledge.  ;)
