Actually it wasn't a hint, but a suggestion.

So far I couldn't find neither a web-page of that museum nor a list of the shown cars.
There are a few videos on the net showing the puzzle car, but unfortunately it's passed without any comment..

Maybe Pal will take an order...

And you easily can find the article source where the car is featured on the home page of the magazine...

Not Willi Wehle.

The name is not a fore-name sur-name combination, but a surname and a designation for a car/body shape in general.

The car is currently displayed at family Grundmann's VW museum in Hessisch Ollendorf/Germany.
It's said to be one of the biggest and most interisting collections of VW rarities at all.
