Solved: Wendax 699 - Puch 500
« on: October 24, 2012, 02:28:03 AM »
This one puzzles me. There is a clearly visible name on the radiator (in the original picture), but I couldn't find any information about a car from this builder that fits in the time this car obviously derives from.

For one point, please respond and identify this car. Additional information is welcome.

Judging by the look of the car I would say it dates from the early to mid-1920s.
Could it be an Austro-Tatra even though they commenced in 1932?

I agree with you that it is probably a mid-twenties car. The company is known for building cars at that time. I just couldn't find a suitable model, but that may be because of my insufficient information. It is not Austro-Tatra.
