Make, year, coachbuilder and stylist for a point please!

Mercedes 170 W15 - Stromlinien coupe by Ermann & Rossi in 1935

[Hubert]

Actually, this car was introduced at the Berlin show in 1933.

[barrett]

Correct so far, it's from 1933... I just need to know who was responsible for the styling. It shouldn't be too hard with all the other information. Locked for you till your next reply.

[barrett]

A bump for Hubert - You are very close to getting the point, but I'll be unlocking and moving this up to the Experts tomorrow!

[barrett]

Okay Experts have it

[Oguerrerob]

Friederich Peters?

[barrett]

Not him.

Clue- he went on to design some very well known (to puzzlers) cars for another coachbuilder....

[Maxmotor]

Was it Johannes Beeskow?

[barrett]

It was indeed!

I've given one point to Hubert for finding the car, and one to Maxmotor for completing the answer

[fnqvmuch]

a point for the matching outfit?

That's probably all what's left of this car: the hood ornament.
