For one point, please identify this car, the coachbuilder and the year.

I believe it is a Benz 8/20 HP Streamliner Limousine from 1912. No idea what the coachwork is.

Funny enough:

even years before Daimler (Mercedes) and Benz were fusioned to form the Mercedes - Benz AG in 1926 they went very similar paths.

Here you can see a 1917 Daimler/Mercedes ad from my collection of a quite similar car:

What weird ergonomics on the puzzle car. An enclosed body with the brake and gear levers on the outside.
