Who knows this little thingy?

Wow! I've only seen sketches of this car before!

So this will definitly not drive to the black hole

Here´s another three of the very scarce photographies I do know:

I´ve just dicovered that there is one existing of those threewheelers! Infos will follow when this is solved.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** October 07, 2010, 10:40:44 AM »

There are proofs of 6 different versions!

grobmotorix · « **Reply #5 on:** October 07, 2010, 11:11:03 AM »

I´ve contacted the builder of the only existing car some minutes ago via e-mail.
I strongly hope he´ll bring some new information to this interesting chapter.

Is this the 1935 (or thereabouts) Kaiser? Built in Germany, and no known relation to the later American Kaiser-Frazer company.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** October 07, 2010, 06:19:47 PM »

It is the Kaiser indeed! But that´s not enough for a point...

Do you have a name for me? Where was it built?

Locked for 24h.

Made by Kaiser Fahrzeugbau in Aschersleben, Germany about 1935. Single seat, powered by a rear single cylinder motorcycle engine ranging from 200cc to 600cc driving the single rear wheel by chain. Engines were manufactured by N.S.U and Columbus-Horex. Supposedly capable of 65 to 75 mph, but you’d have to be a braver man than I am to try it. If this particular car had a model name, I haven’t been able to find it anywhere yet. As your pictures show, the overall design seems to have changed (evolved?) throughout its brief lifespan. And you say one has survived? Now THAT, I'd like to see!

Well, after further research I may have found a photo of the survivor - but still no model name, darn it, unless you count the "Streamline Sportwagen" mentioned on the display sign.

@Fyreline - I´m deeply impressed! You´ve found a front view of the rebuilt car - I´ve been searching for more than an hour and didn´t find one...

Your´s is an earlier example than mine, I think, because it has non integrated front lights

What I wanted to hear was "Kaiser Stromlinie" (in english "streamline", of course")

So this is a well earned point for you!

Another example of this make was featured in my very first group puzzle:

I have some pics of different versions but data may be wrong:
3 prototypes:
#1-it looks like an aircraft fusoleage, 2-seater, covered wheels in 1931
#2-single central light, single seater, cycle wings in 1932
#3-'dreirard tandemsitzer', 2-seater, covered wheels in 1934
The "production" model and the last one, called Type G.

Sweet!

Recently a set of 16 original prints (11 x 8 cm each) of Kaiser Fahrzeugbau Oschersleben were sold for € 893,- (!)

If I had the money I would have bought those, too...

The (only) surviving Kaiser, which fyreline posted a picture of, is featured this month in a German classic car magazine. It is a 1935 Typ 501. The type designation most probably derives from the fact that it is propelled by a NSU 501 OSL engine.
