Post by: SACO on September 01, 2015, 02:27:07 AM
Yes ! a Fiat , but I don't know the coach builder !
Have you more informations ?

No, it was just an educated guess.

Thinking along different paths: Continental tires and "Phoenix Reifen" sign in the background. Is it a German coachwork, perhaps Wendler?

Doubtless a German coachwork !
Just the venue and you have the point !

I think I found out who the coachbuilder of this convertible was. Rometsch displayed a one-off Fiat 1100 Cabriolet at the 1951 IAA. The response to it was positive enough to start a series of 50 Fiat 1400 Cabriolets showing a similar design (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19422).

My source tells me it was made by Drauz...

Drauz would make much more sense in my eyes as they were closely located and related to NSU-Fiat and postwar NSU.
The company even was bought by NSU in 1965...

Her is my (not longer available source) - this guy displayed the IAA of 1951 with several contemporary magazine scans back then:
