Voll und Ruhrbeck?

Actually, I'm sorry to be stubborn, but I found other pictures of what appear to be this exact car in a few other sources, all attributed to Buhne.

Identical details:

Slanted bonnet louvers
Contrasting light colored trim on wing edges
Windshield wiper position
Driving lights on cowl
Concentric circles (whitewall tires?) on wheels and bright center hubcaps
Triple-bar front bumper with number plate above
Trim on door under window
Shape and angle of door handle
Ribbed vent or step edge directly under door
Light-colored running board
Shape of curved lower edge of cloth hood
Diagonal "tension rod" over this curved lower section.
Woman in the car looks similar to and is wearing a similar hat as the one in the puzzle car.

I found other pictures of this car and similar Buhne ones with tiny light colored squares or ovals right behind the bonnet edge. Perhaps a coachbuilder's mark? I suspect we can't see the hood latch and door hinges on the puzzle car because of blacking out the red text, but a tiny light colored square is right where it should be behind the bonnet edge. Is it possible that your source might be wrong?

You are right, my source mixed it up with a similar (but different) Brennabor Juwel 8 Cabriolet by Voll & Ruhrbeck and I didn't check it close enough. One more point for you.
