Sorry for the slight distortion of the picture.

For one point, please respond and identify car and coachbuilder.

This looks like an early postwar Ford "Buckel"-Taunus, converted into a woodie.

Maybe the coachbuilder´s were Plaßwilm?

Let´s start to dig...

Yes, it is a Buckeltaunus Woody. Locked for you to find the coachbuilder, not Plaßwilm.

Before I make another erroneous assumption, is the coachbuilder from Germany?

It looks like the sort of body Josep Vert could have made in Spain?

Just to make sure that I understand your "No" to this question.  I understand your answer to mean that the mystery coachbuilder's name has never appeared (including incorrect guesses, comments, etc.) anywhere on AP.  Is my understanding correct, or do you mean that this coachbuildr's work has never been a featured puzzle on AP?

When I search for the coachbuilder's name, I get "Your search query didn't return any matches.".

I don't know, but I don't think so. There is hardly any information around. But it seems that our coachbuilder was also attending rallyes with a Ford Taunus:

An excess of Umlauts perhaps!!

No Umlaut in the name I'm looking for.

I know that Minartz joined the 1950 ADAC Deutschlandfahrt and the 1951 Rallye Travemünde with at least one Ford Taunus.

So was it built by Autohaus Minartz?
