is it a Porsche?
All I have is a small magazine clipping with a name.
The name is not a known one (VP or Porsche) and the article is quite small to be read, but not impossible.
French?
The article is in German and I believe it's from there.
DDR eigenbau-Porsche van Miersch called Super-VW
Not that...
But it is a DDR eigenbau Porsche, right?
Unfortunately I can barely read that article and just the title is clear. There's written a name and that is all I know. In the article I can read some names and places but it's in German and I can't get the meaning of the blurred words..
Pros?
We've had this car in its present disguise erroneously identified as a Miersch-Porsche before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=15676.msg153680#msg153680
As stated before, the chassis is from a 1944 VW Kübelwagen, chassis number 2-048504. The car was registered for road use on August 17, 1957. The body is a steel body on a wooden frame, the engine is a VW 30hp.
One of the names oftenly related to the GDR-Porsches is the coachbuilder Helfried Lindner. Is that the name you are looking for?
Not one of the names I can barely read and not the name of this car reported in the article.
The Reimann brothers were the initiators of the Lindner-Porsche. Is it them?
You know what? Trying again and again to read it, I can understand more and more. I have now 'isolated' a name for the one I think is the builder and it's not Reimann. I'm sure you'll be able to read it and there should be all the story of it.
I just found that it was built in Osterburg(Altmark), but no name of the builder.
According to my source, (that now seems to be more readable ;D), it was not very far from Osterburg, but not from there.
From Stendal?
Not there but you are getting 'geographically' closer...less than 200km.
"The Halore" is written in the text you probably have too Paul. I'm not with my HD so I'm not absolutely sure if I recall the right name
You are almost there...it's Hallorè, and here's the text:
Kurt Schedder should be the name.
I can read the text but I can't understand it and it's a pain like that: "Zwei grosse hallen - die blechachmlede un die Moentagmataubung- diverse lagenrrsume un die...."
The builder's name is Kurt Schröder, and the car is called Hallore (without any accent), which denotes a historic worker from Halle cooking brine to obtain salt.
So, is it solved?

Yes...If anyone can read and translate the text, I'd like to know more.
Point for you!

Is there anything more on that article? I recognize some words but can't translate it. :-\
Thank you!
Apparently Schröder built 18 of this car + 5 in the pipeline (autumn 1954). It's mainly based on Wehrmacht-VW-Kübel chassis and parts. All bodies were handbuilt and the car was capable to run 120 km/h. Schröder built only the body, customers had to have their own old VW parts and engines to complete the car. Electric stuff was done by other (non named) companies.The name "Hallore" named after the city of "Halle" was coincidentally given by a client (goldsmith) who came in Schröder's workshop. The car had no name before.
Thank you...have you got another source or a better eyesight?
By the time of the article, he had already built 15 minibuses also and was working on his first full size bus.
