No, more of a very basic car

So its for moving people?

Wendax · « **Reply #27 on:** November 07, 2013, 02:24:55 AM »

It is for moving people and / or goods.

Was it made in North America?

some sort of self propelled mail truck.

Going back to one of the first questions was its used for air / sea port?

Wendax · « **Reply #33 on:** November 08, 2013, 01:00:15 AM »

There was no such restriction in its use, but there was a link to aviation in its later life.

IFA from Germany?

Wendax · « **Reply #35 on:** November 08, 2013, 01:02:57 PM »

Not IFA, but from Germany

WayneB · « **Reply #36 on:** November 09, 2013, 12:56:39 PM »

I think my lack of the German Language is screwing me on this one

Any chance of a photo of the complete unit?

Wendax · « **Reply #37 on:** November 09, 2013, 01:18:50 PM »

No, that would be a giveaway then, because it is very characteristic.

WayneB · « **Reply #38 on:** November 09, 2013, 01:59:54 PM »

No problem

Is it a half track?

Wendax · « **Reply #39 on:** November 09, 2013, 02:24:46 PM »

No, four wheels, each in a corner, each reaching to the ground

WayneB · « **Reply #40 on:** November 09, 2013, 08:50:39 PM »

Was it built by a tractor manufacturer?

Wendax · « **Reply #41 on:** November 10, 2013, 02:36:15 AM »

No, but you are right in assuming that its builder was not a car manufacturer.

Wendax · « **Reply #42 on:** November 17, 2013, 02:28:50 AM »

up again

Allemano · « **Reply #43 on:** November 18, 2013, 08:22:32 AM »

Looks like a Faun Kraka..

Wendax · « **Reply #44 on:** November 18, 2013, 08:46:40 AM »

Kraka - yes, Faun - no.

Locked for you to find the missing part.

Allemano · « **Reply #45 on:** November 18, 2013, 08:56:33 AM »

Is it one of the early models from Zweirad Union?

Wendax · « **Reply #46 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:12:11 AM »

Yes, exactly. One point for you.

I'll disclose the full picture tonight.

Looks like an interesting little vehicle, common in its native land.

I should have took more holidays in Germany

Wendax · « **Reply #48 on:** November 18, 2013, 11:32:41 AM »

In its later life the Kraka was built by Faun mainly as a paratrooper vehicle for the German army.

Here is the brochure I took the puzzle snippet from:

Not common at all. I guess I saw it only one time in the flesh on a Classic car meeting here in Germany. I'm sure a very low percentage of spectators knew what they were staring at.
