Solved: Wendax 167 - Heinz Elschenbroich's project on Opel Kapitän base
« on: May 10, 2011, 06:32:26 AM »
Just a scale model that never made it into production.

For one point, please respond and identify the man and the company behind this project, as well as the proposed base car.

Hans Trippel, I thought, and the design might be a predecessor for what would become the Weidner Condor?

It looks a slight bit Porsche-esque maybe?

Loewy and Associates worked with Studebaker, off and on, over 4 decades (1930's through 1960's). Should we assume you were referring to the 1950's as the right decade?

Sorry for being not precise. I associated the 1950s with Loewy's Studebakers.

I suppose your inner bells need adjustment. It is West German.

Interesting...

A project by a designer? Like a study?

No to both.

It was a model that wasn't realized because the company ceased to exist. At least, that is one of the reasons.

Was this company before it went bust a microcar producer?
