What car is this, and which coachbuilder was involved?
Up!
Have the Experts solved this one yet?
Rosengart base car?
Not Rosengart
Czech coachwork?
LOCKED briefly for barrett. The coachbuilder is Czech.
Something of a guess - Brozik? The car is a Skoda 1101 Tudor
The coachbuilder is not Brozik, and the car is not a Skoda 1101 Tudor. Puzzle car differences compared to the Skoda: vent windows in the front doors, single external door hinge (not 2 like the Skoda), turn signal indicator mounted on B-pillar instead of a pop-out trafficator in the front fender/wing. If you could see the back, puzzle car does not have external trunk hinges.
I suppose there is a chance, that this coachbuilder modified a Skoda 1101 body and mounted it on the chassis of a different car, but I have not seen this mentioned in print.
Tatra 1946 T57 bodied by Sodomka
The point goes to pguillem for a close-enough answer.
The puzzle car is a 1937 Tatra 57B, which was rebodied by Sodomka in 1947.

Hmmmm....
This is a bit frustrating.
I missed the edit to the posting about new point rankings and thought it was still the 15th May as originally posted, not the 5th May as the edit indicates.
I had this puzzle solved long ago but assumed I had to wait till the 15th or until it hit the Pro section.
I happened on the new date when I saw Barrett post earlier today as an Expert, not a Pro and at 0808 my time it was "locked briefly for him and was not unlocked as far as I can tell. So, again, I waited until it was unlocked.
Then, my good friend, really, PGuillem pops up with an almost correct answer and gets the point even though I considered the question still locked.
Anyway, here is another photo that I was going to use if I got the chance to answer the quiz.

Sorry. I didn't understand what the "briefly locked" tag meant. Maybe I was too eager, as a born-again Expert to regain the ranks of the Pros... ::)
No problem, pguillem. I did the same thing on a Carnut puzzle.

Sorry Bill. I've been a lot confused about the new Pro/Expert definition and I was somewhat surprised to see that I could post again in the Expert section. I wondered about the "briefly locked" message, and as barrett's guess was twice wrong, but leading me to the Czech answer, I thought that the "briefly" was over, forgetting the "locked" part of the message, unfortunately for you.
I just glanced some Japanese sites, finding some jewels. Thanks for your docs again. BTW, your AutoPuzzles mailbox is still full.

Absolutely no problem, Patrick, I was merely making observations and you happened to be part of the example.
According to what I see on the screen, I have reduced my "Inbox" from over 200 to 5 and have plenty of capacity.
Please try again so I can see if the deletes worked.
BTW, that stuff I sent you was Chinese, not Japanese, but I have a love for things Japanese too.
