Hope my source is reliable.

I think it is the Mars 6 PS, that is displayed at the Museum Industriekultur in Nuremberg.

My source provides a completely different make from a non German country.
As I'm no expert for those old jalopies I'm stuck!  :-\

This is the only picture I have, and unfortunately it's not very good, but it does look just like the puzzle car. The lamps look the same in this case, and there's even the bag strapped to the running board.

Okay, I think I have to give it away now as there's a overwhelming evidence that my source is wrong.
So, I give a point to Wendax.

I have it saved as "Padus" 10 HP from 1908. I have not a second pic to confirm.
It would be nice if any of the other puzzlers bring it to light.

It definitly is the Mars from Nürnberg.

Some years ago I´ve shot those pics of the car myself:

Thanks!

Does anybody have a pic of the Padus to confirm?
