grobmotorix · March 06, 2012, 12:26:16 PM

Up!

grobmotorix · March 16, 2012, 12:32:57 PM

Seems to be unknown within the expert´s rank.

Promoted.

Spanish?

grobmotorix · March 16, 2012, 12:58:33 PM

No, go NE.

Carnut · March 16, 2012, 01:06:15 PM

French then?!

grobmotorix · March 16, 2012, 01:23:00 PM

One step farther E and you´re in D.

German it is.

And a one-off...

Must be one for Wendax then!

It looked German to me, but I haven't seen it before. :(

grobmotorix · March 16, 2012, 04:30:25 PM

At least one you don´t know... ;)

Ostwald?

I only have a place and a year...

Ostwald?

Fritz Ostwald built a threewheeler with rear steering in 1935 and the Röhr already featured (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4491.0). Do you know of other cars by him or was it just a guess?

It was a guess based on a chassis picture I have of the Ostwald threewheeler. Now I think it never was intended to get in fully bodied shape.

No, it is visible.. :D

Yes I have it in bigger size with background. I'll post it later.
According to my source he made different prototypes of this threewheeler until 1945, so I guessed it possibly could be one of them

Wendax · March 18, 2012, 03:37:36 AM

I have a picture of it with a body looking similar to an open-bodied Framo Stromer.
The puzzle car looks postwar to me though.

grobmotorix · March 18, 2012, 04:18:22 PM

I´ll get back home tomorrow evening. Then I can tell you more...

grobmotorix · March 19, 2012, 12:21:42 PM

I´ve got the builder´s name now, too.

It´s indeed been built in the Berlin area and has been featured in a September 1952 magazine.

Black hole?

grobmotorix · June 01, 2012, 11:43:06 AM

One more black hole party member.

It's a German one-off built by Heinrich Kropmann in 1952. It's name is Falkensee (named after the place where Kropmann lived, Falkensee near Berlin).
Engine is a 2-stroke 200 cc IFA-DKW.
