It is not a unit-body construction, isn't it?

I believe mostly wood which makes this a ...

... car-bodied boat? Or an amphibious vehicle, of course.

Sorry, I mixed up two puzzles.

So to answer this: it is not unit-body construction. I was wrong about the body material, but what you should focus is not the body, but a part of the body

[Edited for more sensible response.]

Was this body intended for a vehicle fitted with tracks and/or skis?

pnegyesi · August 24, 2019, 01:04:48 AM

Still it is not about the body, it is about one specific section of the body.

Could it be an early wooden monocoque construction?!

First body with a full-metal roof ?

pnegyesi · August 24, 2019, 06:27:22 AM

Locked for oko94. It is about the roof.

There will be 2 points awarded eventually. 1 for the thing depicted and another for the coachbuilder

oko94 · August 24, 2019, 06:29:44 AM

First one-piece roof ?

pnegyesi · August 24, 2019, 10:58:21 AM

no, two more attempts

oko94 · August 25, 2019, 01:56:23 AM

Is it the fact the roof blends with the rear panel ?

pnegyesi · August 25, 2019, 02:40:41 AM

no

oko94 · August 25, 2019, 03:18:43 AM

Longest roof ever made back then ?

pnegyesi · August 25, 2019, 04:33:15 AM

no, unlocked

oko94 · August 25, 2019, 06:31:23 AM

Is it about the construction technique used to build the roof ?

Wendax · August 25, 2019, 09:01:43 AM

Sliding roof by Golde?

pnegyesi · August 25, 2019, 12:56:55 PM

locked for Wendax. It is the first sliding roof but not by Golde

It is time to look up your German classic car magazines

Is Oldtimer-Markt the place to look?

Body of Carl Rohde Stellmacherei und Wagenbau, Im Rosental 26, Meerane, Saxony, Germany.
Chassis probably one of the eleven Audi.
The special feature of the construction is the front window of three parts.
The three-piece windscreen, instead of the hitherto conventional one-piece.

Hamburg-Automobilia · September 09, 2019, 07:53:33 PM

According to my source. To the roof I have no info found.

pnegyesi · September 09, 2019, 11:17:47 PM

Thank you, the puzzle is now complete

The first sliding roof on probably an Audi chassis, built by Carl Rohde Stellmacherei und Wagenbau, Im Rosental 26, Meerane, Saxony, Germany.

Wendax · September 11, 2019, 12:44:48 PM

Thanks for the point.

Stumbled upon this while looking for something unrelated. Thought it should go here.
