Post by: Wendax on December 26, 2011, 03:40:52 AM
Christmas time in Rookieland. I've just exchanged the present as it was a repost.  ;D

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

No, you are drawing circles around the answer.  ;)

Circles, eh? Auto Union?

Let's say "related to"

I'm going to have a final guess at Horch, although that grille is pretty tame for such a haughty company. :-\

IFA F8 with a cabriolet body by Holka?
Title: Re: Wendax 428
Post by: Wendax on January 05, 2012, 05:47:29 PM
It is an IFA F8, but the coachbuilder is not Holka. Locked until your next reply to find the right coachbuilder.

Unlocked, because dracu777 was promoted to Expert ranks and can't answer this puzzle right now.

Is the coachbuilder Glaser?

An interesting history, from Auto union, to DKW, to IFA, to Wartburg

Not quite, I would say the coachbuilder in question is just about as far away from Gläser as IFA from DKW  ;)

Was assuming it to be a German, east or west coach-builder.
But had a thought was it a Dutch coach-builder

Getting colder. IFA is to DKW what ??? is to Gläser.

Post by: roger on January 14, 2012, 06:09:08 PM
Another guess

Baur from Stuttgart?

Karosseriewerk Dresden

Post by: Wendax on January 15, 2012, 11:02:40 AM
Yes, now we've got all the bits together: it is an IFA F8 "Luxus-Cabriolet in Sonderausführung" (special edition deluxe convertible), built from 1953 to 1955 by the VEB Karosseriewerk Dresden (formerly Gläser).

One point to you, max.
