This one probably hasn't been built.

For one point, please repond and identify this proposal.

An attempt to create a mid-sized car by grafting the front of a Renault Fregate to the back of a Renault Dauphine?

Wendax · « **Reply #2 on:** August 23, 2012, 01:55:14 PM »

That would have been a very interesting twin-engined car.

Nothing to do with Renault.

Neither

This looks like a technical drawing that closely copies a Brooks Stevens concept for a small Kaiser/Frazer. Could this be an East German copy of his design?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** September 02, 2012, 02:12:08 AM »

The manufacturer surely wanted an American look for his cars. Whether he knew the Brooks Stevens design, I don't know. It's not East German, though.

It's a drawing from Gerd Krebs of a rejected Staunau project for potential Danish clients/investors.

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2012, 12:42:51 PM »

Yes, after Staunau's bankruptcy Danish investors were interested, but didn't like the actual styling of the Staunau. But these proposals led to nothing.

One more point for you.

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2012, 12:49:48 PM »

Thank you!

There had been also plans for a 4-door-saloon of the same design.
Think these look at least better than Staunau production cars.

With the Staunau identification:
