AFM Streamline of 1948
I'd guess it is Alexander von Falkenhausen in the cockpit

It's not him though it's indeed an AFM streamliner!
Give you 12h to find the right name! (in fact you won't need more than five minutes!)

Emil Vorster?

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** September 07, 2010, 03:24:36 PM »

You're veeery close now! My source reports that it's most likely someone else.

woodinsight · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2010, 03:39:54 PM »

Zoot alors!
Give me a little time to dig further!

Allemano · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2010, 03:44:05 PM »

okay I give you another 12h.

Gunter or Gustav Nonninger?

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:14:42 PM »

Yes, I think it's him!

Quote: "[...] Note the extended exhaust pipe at the side - according to Nonninger this had to be done after the car failed scrutineering, and therefore at night Nonningers bunch "transferred" a fallpipe from a house in the Hockenheim suburbs [...]"
