No, I take that back. Hansa?

Yes, it is a Hansa. Please name type and year of construction. Locked for you.

1934-1937 Hansa 1100.  1700 would have five vents at the top.

Yes, it is a Hansa 1100. Your reasoning hits the nail on the head, but the production period was longer.
Title: Re: si_627

Yes, the 1100 was introduced at the Berlin Motor Show in 1934 and continued until 1939.  Sources are contradictory, but some imply that the 1939 1100 was Borgward-badged.

This detailed and correct answer is absolutely worth a point!

I think the header should be altered. Hansa-Lloyd was Borgward's truck brand, while the cars were just badged as Hansa.

I've never seen a Hansa 1100 badged as a Borgward 1100, but at least there were brochures calling the car a Borgward 1100, see below.

Yes, I think this is true.  It may have been called a Borgward Hansa but they were probably concentrating on introducing the Borgward 2000 and 2300 which also had fancy hood vents.  They were probably just selling off the remaining Hansas.  I don't actually see one with a Borgward logo either.
