The year could be right, but it is not an Adler.

I don't know the coachbuilder. It is not really a Fiat, but related.

NSU-Fiat, possibly 521
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Circa 1927 Austro-Fiat?
Yes, it is an Austro-Fiat. I don't have a year, just the model. But I think, 1927 is a little bit too early.
Locked for you to supply the model.

It's a nice car. Type 1001 from 1929?

Yes, Austro-Fiat 1001 is correct. The body type was called Sport-Coupé.

One more point for you.

I have two coachbuilders (both Austrian) that built bodies on the Austro-Fiat chassis - Armbruster and Weiser.
It's possible that one of them may have built the body on this car but I have no visual proof of that.
Perhaps someone knows the answer?
