Wow, finally............

I have stared at this car for a month and I thought I had the answer immediately......
Must be a Horch 830 BL.

But then I realized the radiator surround was much more narrow than a Horch and had to start all over again.

My current opinion is that this is a Steyr, most likely a 430, from 1933-1935.

In spite of hours of investigation, I cannot come up with the coach builder but perhaps that is enough if correct.

Bill, you are correct with identifying it as a Steyr, but it is not a 430. Locked for you to find the correct model, no coachbuilder needed.

I have found only one more possible choice although it seems a different vehicle.

740 model perhaps.

No, 430 was better guess, just a bit too early.  ;)

Sigh...............

Another hour and now it appears it may be a 530............

Thank you for the opportunity.  It has been a long time in between "Solutions" for me.

Thank you also for the second, excellent photo.  Never seen that one before either.

Hi Gerd:

Thank you so much for the additional photograph.  As you well know, I am a big fan of the styling of such vehicles of the mid 1930's up to 1940 or so.

One question, I note that most of your photos seem to be "beauty shots" that normally are taken by coachbuilders and usually they have a plaque by the vehicle advertising their name.  Do you know who built this/these vehicle/s?

My source usually does not reveal many details. When a coachbuilder's name is mentioned, I make it part of the puzzle.
