A point is on offer for the make, model, year and coachbuilder of this unusual convertible saloon.

Time for an Expert opinion

Looks like an early 30s Mercedes 370?

mymokke · « **Reply #3 on:** September 28, 2011, 10:09:36 PM »

Possibly a Reutter body?

woodinsight · « **Reply #4 on:** September 29, 2011, 02:34:33 AM »

Mercedes - yes
370 - no
1930s - no
Reutter - no

mymokke · « **Reply #5 on:** September 29, 2011, 11:10:27 PM »

1929 is correct but the model is different.

If '29 , a type 350 ?

Not that - it's one letter followed by four numbers

I found it but I have a problem : at first, I didn't recognize it as a Mercedes, but given the answers I could find keywords for a Google Image search which gave me the answer (hoping that it is the correct one). What do you suggest ?

Difficult to say whether you have the correct car but I assume so if you have used Google Image Search.
Thanks for your honesty and let's know what you've found (including the coachbuilder).

I just have Mercedes-Benz L 1000 Express at this moment. I'll look for the coachbuilder, but I have to leave for a few hours.

So far so good.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply.

I'm very sorry but I can't find it. Could it be Gaggenau ?

I'm sorry too but it's not Gaggenau......
Open again to all.

Is this coachbuilder still active ?

No, I believe this must have been one of their last car bodies.

woodinsight · « **Reply #21 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:53:19 AM »

Moving to the Pros to finish this one off......

1929 L1000, developed from 10/50 PS Stuttgart W11 with enforced chassis with body by Karrosseriewerken Gustav Erhardt, called a "Kombinationswagen". Coupe top was removable.
Also had a rear door.

That's the car although I believe the coachbuilder's name was spelled Ehrhardt with an extra 'h'.
Well done and I'm pleased to award you your first point.
