Who knows this car?

Limo · « **Reply #1 on:** October 25, 2010, 09:35:17 AM »

A very interesting vehicle!

Buckminster Fuller?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #2 on:** October 25, 2010, 10:00:35 AM »

It´s not his design.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** October 26, 2010, 02:54:07 PM »

I´ve contacted the still existing company that I think built this vehicle.
With some luck we´ll get some more information. Let´s see...

grobmotorix · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2010, 03:11:54 AM »

Now I know a bit more.

Can the pros tell me anything about this thing?

Allemano · « **Reply #5 on:** November 04, 2010, 03:37:35 AM »

from Germany?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #6 on:** November 04, 2010, 05:43:05 AM »

Definitly yes.

Allemano · « **Reply #7 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:19:26 AM »

shot in the dark: Dornier?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #8 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:47:16 AM »

No, not from any known german car manufacturing brand.

This was made by a then coachbuilding and now modifying and repairing company that is still existing.

Allemano · « **Reply #9 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:53:58 AM »

Drews?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** November 04, 2010, 07:12:11 AM »

Not one of the well known, of course...

But to give anyone a chance I reveal all I know about it:

it has been built in 1959 as a show car for the company´s jubilee and featured technical gimmicks like:
radar and an ATOMIC engine!

Well, just a show gimmick, of course.

It obviously stood on a standard Volkswagen Beetle chassis.

Because no one would have a chance to get those information and there was and is no given name for the vehicle I will give the point to anyone who can tell me the name of the coachbuilding company.

Let's narrow it a little bit down: Is this repair-shop in the northern part of Germany? (think about that certain equator please!)

grobmotorix · « **Reply #12 on:** November 05, 2010, 08:39:41 AM »

Definitly north of Germany, yes.

Allemano · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2010, 08:43:28 AM »

Lower Saxony?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:26:08 AM »

Sorry, I forgot about this one.

Not Lower Saxony.

Allemano · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:32:55 AM »

Schleswig-Holstein?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:35:55 AM »

You´re getting closer...

Allemano · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:39:04 AM »

Hamburg!

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:47:08 AM »

Yes. And the company is still existing.

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:56:07 AM »

only about 500 garages to check. Sorting out the Turkish and other exotics there are still 350 to go..
A job for a hard-working guy – not me!

grobmotorix · « **Reply #20 on:** November 10, 2010, 09:02:42 AM »

Sorry I did not want to bother anyone with this creation, but it would be great to get any more information.
Germany did not have many dreamcars or "Traumwagen" in those days...

Allemano · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2010, 09:04:02 AM »

It's not bothering at all, I simply do not know how to solve it!

João · « **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2010, 07:53:10 PM »

That's the 1959 F.Sachs & Sohn Nuclear Dreamcar....all that I know

grobmotorix · « **Reply #23 on:** November 25, 2010, 01:18:40 AM »

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

It was indeed made By F.Sachs & Sohn, Hamburg to promote their 125 years-jubilee in 1959.

Just a show car, but spectacular...

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** November 25, 2010, 01:28:55 AM »

Great job João!

Usually I don't ask for the source, but could anyone tell me how to find this?

(PM if possible)
