So it is German. It is a rather free interpretation of Central Europe :)

Yes from Germany!
According to WIKI Central Europe there isn't only one definition. Some source say Romania and the BeNeLux are part of CE as well, but usually it's like shown in the pic I've posted in my last reply.
Switzerland is mentioned in almost all definitions, but rarely Croatia...

Well, you're German, do you think you reside in Central Europe? Nah, you live in Western Europe, a region which we secretly envy :)

Before 1989 the BRD was per definition a Western European state but after re-union we stepped a bit more in the center..

Whatever!  :P

Back to work again!

Hitler was known to travel by Packard occasionally - was this one associated with the little dictator?

I think this car is very interisting for a certain kind of car collectors...
This referred to the recent Post War Spohn topic.

Sorry, I didn't find additional information about that car.
I said Spohn because I knew that this coachbuilder had made modifications on American cars, both before and after WWII (and apparently during WWII as well...)
If someone knows better, it's up to him.
There is certainly a very interesting story about that car, first of all how could an American car have been imported in Germany during the war...

Well, the USA was neutral until December 1941.  After that cars could theoretically have been imported via a neutral country.

It wasn't unusual for Spohn to re-body cars that were not new.

It looks inspired by this, so Neumann-Neander?

We had that designer before, but on a completely different make.. The historical (and visual!) background seems to be quite similar, though.

Wendeler designed a Maybach, constructed by Spohn, that resembled this Packard.

OK - how about Wunibald Kamm
