Any similarities to living fishes are only by chance.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and the year of its appearance.

It is from 1959, but not a Peerless

Isar S35. 

Just 2 specimens were built and shown at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1959. Its origins were the Goggo Coupé und the Isar T700.

Yes, the Glas Isar S35 it is. Congratulations, pguillem. Bad luck, D-Type.

From the side, it would have been a much easier puzzle.

Another new one for me. They didn't make much effort to change the styling did they!

I wouldn't have known anyway!  Glas was simply a guess on the "Who's left?" principle.

Funnily enough the S35 was presented as the "Fleetwing" in the UK  :o :

The Isar Limousine was called "Royal" and the station wagon was the "Esquire" ...

The S35/Fleetwing never went into production.

Those other standard Isar limousine and estate versions were not a big success in Germany also...
