I have seem to be missinformed by the source I got the picture from.

By further investigation I have no more info than that this is a
Maybach Zeppelin Limousine prototype from 1932. A compromise between the standard form and streamlined
No mention of a special coachbuilder only that the body was modified at a point.

I award you the point and move it to solved.

Any additional info is appreciated
