What about the pros of the pros? Not a single guess so far?

I suppose it's German and the hood reminds me of a Hansa, but that's all.

The based car is German, but not the coach!

It certainly resembles one of the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) cars such as the Syrena, but the grille isn't quite right. Perhaps a derivative of one of those cars?

No, it's not Polish.

It's not the same as I have it as but there are similarities in the name.
Would you like to enlarge on that and its base because you may be on to something?

The engine-less prototype was called DKW on the windscreen (Bohnstedt-Petersen assembled the make before WW II). But nobody knew, if an engine by IFA or ILO could be later installed. My source mentions the car as "DK" and "so-called danish DKW", other sources as "DK-W". There was even a later "DKR".
Anyway it is repost (Allemano 127, 2009.)

Right you are, so it is.  It'll be merged.
Unforutunately I had used that source we spoke about before and this is the information I had to go on!:

QUOTE
Auf einer Messe in Stockholm präsentierte die Firma Philipsons im Frühjahr 1948 diesen Prototyp mit Pontonform und selbsttragender Stahlblech-Karosserie. Technisch basierte auch dieser Wagen auf dem deutschen DKW F-7, die Räder hingen an querliegenden Blattfedern. Im Bug saß der wassergekühlte Zweizylinder 692 ccm-Zweitakt-Motor mit 15 PS, der seine Kraft auf die Vorderräder gab. Philipsons hatte erfahren, dass die schwedische Flugzeugfirma Saab an einem ähnlichen Wagen arbeitete. Im Herbst 1947 war Saab in Ermangelung eines eigenen Händlernetzes an Philipsons herangetreten und bot ihm die Generalvertretung in ganz Schweden für den kommenden Saab 92 an, sofern er sein eigenes Projekt aufgeben würde. Philipsons nahm das Angebot an.


Hersteller: Philipsons, DKW
Personen: Philipsons, DKW
Baujahr: 1948

Land: Schweden
UNQUOTE

Which Google-translated (I'm lazy!) means:

QUOTE
At a trade show in Stockholm, the company Philipson presented in spring 1948 with this prototype pontoon shape and self-supporting steel bodywork. Technically, this car also based on the German DKW F-7, and the wheels hung from transverse leaf springs. In the bow of the water-cooled two-cylinder 692 cc two-stroke engine with 15 hp was, who gave his power to the front wheels. Philipson had learned that the Swedish aircraft manufacturer Saab was working on a similar car. In the fall of 1947, Saab was approached in the absence of a separate dealer network to Philipson and offered him the general agent in Sweden for the upcoming Saab 92, if he would give up his own project. Philipson accepted the offer.

No mention at all of Denmark or Bohnstedt & Petersen!
A source best avoided in the future (I've already abandoned it for future puzzles..)
