Hi,
It's a Mollmobil (3PS) built in 1919 by Mollwerke A.G. in Oberlichtenau/Germany. The car was a minor success in Japan.

I don't now what kind of car it is, but was it used to escape from beneath the planet of the apes?

Another hit for Allemano. I had it as a 1924 car, but you seem better informed.

My source: (no other mysteries to find there!  :D)

It's indeed not a definite year of production mentioned, but they started building cars in 1919. The range wasn't that big...

Here's an unlabeled photo of the chassis from 1924 that took me longer to identify than it should have. :-[

 :doh: I have had this very snippet in my folder for unidentified cars for years. I was wondering if it might have been a Hascho, but didn't take the more likely Mollmobil into consideration. Thanks for solving this riddle.  :thumbsup:

I was in the exact same situation. It had been in my "unidentified" folder for years. I stumbled across it today and decided the time had come to figure it out, which took longer than I'd like to admit. In hindsight, it should have been obvious.
