Yes, the base car is a Volkswagen. That was the easy part. Now I need the coachbuilder.

Never heard of that before, are you sure it isn't part of a company name referring to the river Rhine? Then it would be Rheinische ...

But anyway, it isn't.

It was built by a coachbuilding company. In fact, they built several of these with only minor alterations.

Not obscure enough for not having been mentioned on AutoPuzzles so far.
