Borgward B 3000, coachwork by H. Puppe, circa 1949?

It is a Puppe body from around 1949, so this is locked for you to find the right chassis.

I don't know what to say ..I found exactly the same picture on the book we know and it is clearly identified as such.

I'll have a second look tonight at my source and my books. Perhaps my memory plays me a trick right now.

We are both right, it's just that the sources are contradictory. As you stated Regenberg (as well as Michels in his Borgward trucks and buses book) state that it is a Borgward B 3000 chassis. The picture source, a 1949 magazine calls it an Opel Blitz chassis, but also states in the text that this body was made for chassis from various manufacturers. So I guess they used the Borgward picture to illustrate the body, especially as it wears no visible identification of the chassis brand. One more point for you.
