Who needs a drag coefficient?

For one point, please respond and identify this car and the year it was built.

From a long-running brand (made cars for more than 10 years) ?

There is some confusion about the date when the company started building cars, so some say more than 10 years, some less.

I think it's this 1904 Colibri.

Yes, that's the one. Probably the first Colibri ever built. At the wheel is Mr. Hillers, the owner of the long gone car museums in Hamburg and Tremsbüttel.

Another point for you.

Yesterday I made a visit to the Museum der Hamelner Automobilgeschichte where this Colibri resides now. This car was not built in 1904, but in 1908. It is powered by a 950 cc engine developing 7-8 PS. I'll change the headline.
