You can leave your hat on.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Not an American car, so not a Hupmobile

I didn't find the puzzle picture but I did find this interesting picture of a similar car. The lady is Margarete Reichstein, wife of Carl Reichstein, who was the founder of the German make Brennabor.

Thank you, the B on the hub cap helped, though I first thought it was an 8.

Well done Ropat, I was getting close but also missed the "B" on the hubcap.

Do either of you or anyone looking on here know if that window design is some sort of "Patented Design"?

It looks quite unique to me and although I may have seen it somewhere, I don't remember it.

I must say I don't remember ever seeing that window design before, first I thought they may be hinged but they seem to be fixed. It does look like a practical way of being able to open the window to get air in and keep the rain out.
I only did a very quick search and found that neither earlier nor newer cars appear have them.
