yes, a coachbuilder. It was the subject of an AP puzzle and at the end this car was referenced

Title: Re: PN #1358
Post by: pnegyesi on February 03, 2020, 12:21:44 AM
not from Belgium
not Welsch

Karosseriebauschule Kaiserslautern may have played a part here, because the aforementioned reference at the end of said puzzle says that this was a "Meisterstück". My own source just identified the coachbuilder

yes, a coachbuilder.
By the way, should we assume that the "yes" at the beginning of your response was confirmation that the coachbuilder was German?
Title: Re: PN #1358

yes, a German coachbuilder.

Title: Re: Solved: PN #1109 -- Karl Clemens Eigenbau, cca 1958
Post by: Wendax on February 19, 2020, 02:27:05 PM
I am quite sure that this car is the Johann Köster VW (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2017-46/pn-1358/) with a modified grill.

Karl Clemens wrote several letters to the editor of auto motor und sport, e.g. one about the Welsch masterpiece (see below), so he probably wasn't the builder of the pictured car.

I think we should merge these puzzles.
