[Wendax]

I'm not absolutely sure what car this is. I have an idea, but couldn't confirm it.

For one point, please respond and identify this car (with proof).

Keep us informed when they have a solution. It might bring you a point.

I cannot find the exact image provided, but the car shares a lot of characteristics with various Hispano-Suiza pictures I have found.

Size of headlights, cross-bar between headlights, shiny flat plane between radiator and bumper, shape of bumper, high-mounted wipers connected by a bar.  (Understanding, many cars from the 30's share all these characteristics)

The shiny part of the radiator with the triangle, I believe is an aftermarket add-on, which can be found on many other brands of car.  I have seen this radiator cover on at least one other Hispano-Suiza.

One of the hardest features of this car to find in an image, is the longitudinal dividing line on the fenders.  I have found other H-S's with character lines in the front fenders, but they are usually centered on the lights on top of the fenders.

Very interesting!

I agree with sixtee5cuda.  But my head screams "Isotta-Fraschini," even though the grill doesn't match exactly.  Is that the make?

[Wendax]

The emblem in the triangle didn't look like Hispano-Suiza or Isotta Fraschini, but like one from a completely different make. It remains a mystery. As said before, I need a proof, because I don't know for sure.

[RayTheRat]

Is the car German?

[Wendax]

Following the radiator emblem, yes, but I might be wrong.

[RayTheRat]

Horch?

[Wendax]

No, the radiator emblem follows the triangular pattern

[guido66]

Wanderer?

[RayTheRat]

Adler Standard, circa 1930?

[Wendax]

Neither Wanderer nor Adler

[guido66]

1929 Mannesmann?

[Wendax]

No

[guido66]

Last guess for now: Certus?

[grobmotorix]

Hansa-Lloyd?

[Wendax]

No and no

[roger]

Could it be a 1920's Audi ?

[Wendax]

Don't think so

[roger]

Maybach ?

[RayTheRat]

A 1931 DKW 4=8 grill shell has a similarly-shaped emblem.  Could this be the culprit?
