That's it. I filed it as a "protype", not "spezialkarosserie", but that doesn't mean much.

It´s one-off, built for the painter Karl Rob in 1935.

Here´s another view that shows its huge sliding roof.

A very interesting car - does anyone have more information?

My Steyr book says: "Als Einzelexemplar und Designstudie wurde auf dem Chassis des 530 auch eine spezialkarossierte Limousine in modernisticher Stromlinienform gebaut. Der Entwurf stammte wider von dem malenden Verleger Karl Rob. Eigenartig war die Zahl von jeweils fünf Seitenfenstern dieses ungewöhnlichen Designs. Es machte den Traum des Unternhemens von der Rückkehr in die Oberklaess wieder etwas deutlicher, wie im nächsten Kapitel am Vergleich dieses Wagens mit dem späteren Steyr 70 Prototyp gezeigt werden soll.

A single copy and design study on the chassis of the 530, a special-bodied sedan (saloon) was built with modern streamlining. The design was commissioned by the painter Karl Rob. There are five side windows in this unusual design. It made the company's dream of of returning to the upper class again a little clearer. In the next chapter on the comparison of this car with the later Steyr 70 prototype will be shown.

More or less.

Make Unternhemen a Unternehmen, translate it as company, and it will be perfect.  ;)
