Looks like an Adler, probably a Type 10 from the late '30s.

The bodywork looks unusual, almost like a streamlined wagon; probably one-of-a-kind.

Your second line is all-correct and close to the point, but I am afraid line 1 is not right!

In late summer of 1938, BMW tested a prototype of the so-called 'Kamm'-Coupe based their "328 chassis". It had a drag coefficient of only 0.25 compared to the great 1940 Mille Miglia winning BMW 328 Touring Coupe with drag coefficient 0.35.

The identification is wrong! This is the Kamm K-3 from 1938/39, based on a Mercedes-Benz 170 V.
The car was built by Wendler for FKFS research institute.
This topic should be merged with this one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8509.0

The BMW-based Kamm-Wagen is the K-1: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18801.0

I'll take your word for it as I'm sure you know your stuff with German cars especially!
I seem to recall picking this up off a BMW site though so I thought they would know what they were talking about..
