Picture of an exhibition.
For one point, please respond and identify this car.

As close as I can tell, it looks like an Adler Diplomat 3GD of the year 1934.
Bill
1934 is correct, but it is not an Adler.
I cannot find a photo of such a car with sidemounted spare wheels, but then perhaps a Hanomag Sturm.
Not a Hanomag
Sorry, I was too lazy to go through my whole reference library.
A Stoewer Grief V8. Very pretty, very rare.
Bill
You are right, and you are not. It is not a Stoewer Greif, although it has a lot to do with it. Locked for you to find out more.
max: I removed your post as the puzzle was locked for Bill!
Boy, this is embarrassing for me, Gerd, I am usually a little better than this at mid 1930's German vehicles.
I cannot get the appearance of the louvers in the grille to match, but for the rest of the vehicle it could also be a Röhr 8 13/75 PS of the same year. If not, please unlock.
Bill
Sorry - hadn't paid attention.

You are moving off target now. Stick to the Stoewer Greif and have a second thought.
Locked for one more try.
Well, not much left.
The bodywork and the grille are pretty much identical to the Stoewer R 140/150 of the same year but I could not find a photo of that model with the ventilation doors in the side of the motor hood seen in your photo as opposed to the horizontal openings found on almost all photos I have seen so far.
If I am correct, I do not know which of the two variants it is as they seem to be identical except for a higher compression ratio on the 150 car which yielded 5 more horsepower.
Again, please unlock it if I have missed it yet again. I don't really enjoy guessing and I am not greedy for points.
Bill
Okay, unlocked and open for all Experts.
As it seem pillar-less, is probably the Stoewer Greif V8, 2/3 sitziges Sportkabriolett, 1935-37. Same engine but overall a bit smaller

As I said before, it is not a Stoewer Greif, but related. ;)
Might it be a Röhr?
Assuming that Stoewer part is correct and the Grief is incorrect and that it is not one of the 'R's then I have seem on the web a car that is similar but details different and was defined as 1934 F 2Dr. Cabriolet Glaser. I have also seen similar photos of a car described as 1935 Tourer. The grille seems about 1934. Frustrating ! Regards

It is not a Stoewer, but related.
Mathis maybe?
No
Wait... is it a DS, Dewaet & Stoewer?
Yes, it is the Belgian DS, a licence-built Stoewer from 1934.
One well-earned point for you.
DeAutogids:
My sincere congratulations on your successful solving of this puzzle.
Certainly a well earned point.
Wendax... do you have any idea how many of these cars were built, especially this cabriolet???
Could not be more than a handfull.
I don't have a number, but the sources I know say that only very few were made.
It was, according to Kuperan, only build in 1934 and indeed it was not a big succes.
