Just a shade of her former beauty survived.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, year and coachbuilder.

I think this is just the right car for an expert.

1940's German?

Wendax · April 24, 2011, 10:58:32 AM

It is not a German car from the 40's, though your answer is not completely wrong.

German body?

Wendax · April 24, 2011, 01:07:36 PM

Yes

Tackitt · April 24, 2011, 02:01:21 PM

A Rometsch - bodied ALFA Romeo 6C2500?

Wendax · April 24, 2011, 04:18:19 PM

Wow! Yes, it is. Locked for you to find the year.

Tackitt · April 24, 2011, 05:26:55 PM

I don't know why I didn't put that in there. I believe it is 1951.

Wendax · April 24, 2011, 05:44:24 PM

It is 1951.

Congratulations, Tackitt. A well-earned point.

I found an interesting little article about this car, where a Mr. Kurt Blossei states that this car wasn't built by Rometsch, but by the coachbuilder Fiukowski of Berlin-Halensee where he worked at the time.
