Time to post some expert puzzles (open to rookies as well of course)
For a point what is the make, country and year of this small vehicle?

Is this another one of the Kaiser streamliners from mid-1930's Germany?

It is the 1932 prototype of the Hercules from Nuremberg, Germany. It was developed over several stages into the Hercules Motorradwagen I featured as #10 in my threewheelers group puzzle.
