It looks like an old body, mounted on a much more modern light truck chassis, but I do not have the slightest idea...

It's an old body on an old chassis.

Is the chassis from some a sort of Kübelwagen?
Title: Re: Wendax 322
Post by: Wendax on September 13, 2011, 05:23:15 PM
The chassis is from normal series production, but probably shortened.

Yes, it is the Adler Diplomat Sport from 1936, built for the then popular trials called "Geländefahrten". This car was on display for many years at the Hillers museums in Hamburg and Tremsbüttel.

Ah, that must be the German equivalent of "wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding" ;D
