1938?

[Wendax]

Yes, according to a registration list the only year when Neander cars were registered in Düsseldorf (IY) was 1938. It is quite unusual for a Neander that the passengers were seated side by side.

[Allan L]

Düsseldorf registration is quite appropriate since the Neanderthal, from which the pre-human takes its name, is nearby - or was that where Ernst Neumann got the second barrel of his name from anyway?
