1930's Goliath Pionier/Pioneer (depending on how you want to spell it...)

No, the third... There is also the Mercedes T80.
But I stop now because it seems that the "search" doesn't help me today.  >:(

but it has different wheels so....different car?  sort of.  ;)

Also the body is different, at least in the back. I know little about it, but it should be more recent, about 1935-36.

The Goliath Pionier was built as a convertible, as a notchback sedan (the most common version) and from 1933 on also as a fastback sedan. There were two different versions of the fastback sedan: an earlier one with rectangular doors and side windows cf. attached picture), and a later one (as in the puzzle picture) with slanted doors and windows and a more flowing roofline. I even found a picture of the later one with integrated dickey seat.

Wow, I´ve never seen the rumble-seat version before!

I'm not sure whether the rumbleseat version is a private conversion or not.

In the Technikmuseum Stade I have seen a Goliath Pionier with a similar body, probably a private one-off. If anybody has information about this one, you are welcome to share it here.
