NSU Taube (dove/pigeon?) from about 1923/1925?

I really wouldn´t have thought that this would be solved at expert level.

VEEERY GOOD!

BTW: does anybody know if that strange bodywork of the "Taube" (which indeed means "dove/pidgeon" in english)
was crafted at the Neckarsulm works or if it came from a supplying coachbuilder?

A strange kind of "cab forward design", we can find here...

Are you sure about it being a 5/17? The small NSU of the early 20s is usually referred to as the 5/15 PS.

The bodywork of the Taube is a double phaeton with the possibility to attach a hardtop called Capot, as in the puzzle picture. I guess the bodywork was done by Schebera, as NSU offered several bodies for their cars and Schebera as well as NSU both belonged to Jakob Schapiro's short-lived car empire.

Mistyped again.

It is a 5/15, of course.

And yes - the Schebera hint sounds quite plausible.

Thank you!
