Sorry, but I've known that picture for more than 30 years, because it is in the first automotive history book I bought.  ;D

Quite a nice car and built just around the corner from my home.

I´m quite sure I´ve found two more photos of a Ludewig Ford!

The front lights are different, but the unique wheels and some more details look exactly like your puzzle car...

Yes, that definitely is a Ludewig Ford. Do you know where these pictures were taken? The waste bucket has a German text on it, but the license plate looks unfamiliar to me. Is it in Austria?

The wheels are quite characteristic. I wish my eyes were that good, but I guess that just my glasses get more powerful over the years, at least they have to.
