Sure, post them as individual puzzles and we will see who will be able identify them. I think youīve got the globeīs best chances to identify them at autopuzzles.com...

How should I proceed with this one.

Iīll unlock it and we will see who will be first...

If you mean post some of your own puzzles, there are only 2 ways you can do this as Rookies are unable to:

1) Become an Expert (i.e. get 20 points) or
2) Write a feature and become a Feature Writer

Then you can post as many puzzles as you like wherever you like (they don't have to start in the Rookies section although that's where almost all puzzles are initially posted) and we look forward to identifying them!

It looks like a central seat rather than offset.  So is it 1937 and Philip Jucker?

I found a photo of the 1937 2 liter version, too.

It is so very similar:
