[Wendax]

Papler?

[Djetset]

Not Schebera or Papler, but I am learning lots of German coachbuilder names I'd long forgotten about, so Vielen Danke!

[Wendax]

Lueg?

[woodinsight]

Kruck?

[Djetset]

Nein und nein!

[Wendax]

Ludewig?

[Djetset]

Not Ludewig.

[woodinsight]

Zschau?

[Djetset]

Not Zschau.

[Wendax]

Weinsberg?

[Djetset]

Not Weinsberg.

[Wendax]

Drauz?

[woodinsight]

Neuss?

[Djetset]

No and no!

[woodinsight]

Kellner?

[Wendax]

Hebmüller?

[Djetset]

No and no again.  This one must be trickier than I realised!

[Wendax]

Was the coachbuilder located within 200 km from the Fafnir works in Aachen?

[João]

Auer?

[woodinsight]

Nowack?

[Djetset]

If my German geography is correct, the coachbuilder was based more than 200 km from Fafnir in Aachen, and it is not Auer or Nowack.

[woodinsight]

Kuhlstein?

[Djetset]

Found it, just had to look in the right book: it is an Autenrieth body. But reading the text more closely, the author says that he doesn't have an original photo of the Autenrieth-bodied Fafnir, so he is showing a similar body. That would open the question again in so far as the puzzle car has a standard body offered (not built) by Fafnir, which makes me think of Miesen again.

[Djetset]

Ah ha, all very complex.  Anyway, Autenrieth was the name I was looking for.  As I am feeling generous, I will give one point to Wendax for his detective work, and another to Woodinsight for correctly naming the make and model.
