I'd say it is about as obscure as it can get, and it is the only picture I know.

I don't have any dates for this car, but I would think that it was built after WWI.

Twice no

To clarify, "twice no" means that I had it completely backward, correct? If so, then this vehicle shares its name with 1) a rather known German car model and 2) a rather unknown non-German car brand.

how about 'Polo' (German VW model and 1980s Brazilian make)?
