[bentleybob]

Streamlined looks, but by whom, on which make and type chassis, from when and for whom?

[bentleybob]

Up,

[Zerk]

I appreciate the look of this car, with its six side windows. Is it from England?

[bentleybob]

no

[RayTheRat]

German?

[bentleybob]

Partly

[RayTheRat]

German base car with coachwork from another country?

[bentleybob]

Clever, very clever

[RayTheRat]

Clever, very clever

It wasn't intended to be "clever", just to determine which path to follow.  But I'll ask if the base car is a Mercedes-Benz.

[bentleybob]

Yes, it is.

[RayTheRat]

770 (Grosser) bodied by Mayfair?

[bentleybob]

Not by Mayfair

[RayTheRat]

770 by Binder?

[bentleybob]

Not by Binder

[RayTheRat]

Well, hell.  I'm just gonna have to let this one go so I can get the final stuff finished and leave for the salt flats.

Good luck to everyone on it.

RtR

[bentleybob]

Up, again..

[woodinsight]

French coachwork?

[bentleybob]

nope

[João]

Coachwork by Lancefield?

[bentleybob]

No, it isn't

[woodinsight]

Is the coachbuilder from an Eastern bloc country?

[bentleybob]

THe eastern bloc didn't come into existence until 1945. And since this car is obviously from before WW2, the answer is no.

Fair enough.
I will re-phrase the question then by asking if it's by a Czechoslovakian coachbuilder?

[bentleybob]

Not czechoslowakian, no
