Just a shade of her former beauty survived.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, year and coachbuilder.

It is not a German car from the 40's, though your answer is not completely wrong.

I don't know why I didn't put that in there. I believe it is 1951.

I found an interesting little article about this car, where a Mr. Kurt Blossei states that this car wasn't built by Rometsch, but by the coachbuilder Fiukowski of Berlin-Halensee where he worked at the time.
