I have found that exact name (probably) should be Karossa with double 's'. According to this period article: ???

A nice car, BTW ;)

OK I've changed it as it clearly has 2 'S's there.
But that Russian 'Find Rare Car' site - I've been on it before (far too many annoying pop-ups!) - is it reliable fact and spelling-wise?

Guys, sorry to upset you, but it should really be written with one 'S'  ::)

Carnut, to be honest I have never seen a single pop-up at Find Rare Car.

Thanks, faksta. I have posted this article in order to clear doubts as I have written "probably" :)

Changed back again then!
I did think my source was more reliable than Find Rare Cars but whilst it clearly has 2 'S's in cyrillic that must have crept in during translation!
