Kuhn?

No.

Perhaps it might help to find the location of the coachbuilder.

Yes, you're right of course.
Is it from the northern half of Germany - say north of Dortmund?

Wendax · « **Reply #59 on:** April 10, 2013, 04:55:04 AM »

Yes, from Northern Germany

From Hamburg?

Back then: no, nowadays: yes.

Body is by Schlecte

Wendax · « **Reply #63 on:** June 12, 2013, 04:52:51 PM »

I'll accept that little spelling error.

The bodywork is from Karosserie Schlechte of Altona (now part of Hamburg).

Two well-earned points for this black hole job, waiting to be solved for almost one and a half years.

I have attached an ad and another Schlechte creation:

Just because it shows so many design parallels - the Wendler Brennabor:

Wendax · « **Reply #65 on:** June 13, 2013, 04:13:48 PM »

Yes, as I said before, it is a very similar design, but I think my source is reliable. I found the picture in an Automobil und Motorrad Chronik article about Schlechte.

Allan L · « **Reply #66 on:** June 13, 2013, 04:27:31 PM »

I'm in linguistic trouble here: is Karosserie Schlechte not the same as eine schlechte Karosserie?

Wendax · « **Reply #67 on:** June 13, 2013, 04:41:33 PM »

Certainly not

Sure, I do not doubt it.

There is a very nice new book out there on German coachbuilders. I will introduce it soon. I found this Merc there

Are you talking about Erik Eckermann's new book?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #71 on:** June 14, 2013, 11:19:49 AM »

This book is on my X-mas wishlist, too...

It's on top of my wishlist as well but still too much money... €99,- $:-\$ However it's not pricey for such a huge volume.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #73 on:** June 16, 2013, 03:47:31 PM »

Yes, I was talking about this EUR 99 book. I just got a courtesy copy by mistake. But I am not refusing such things

I will introduce this book soon.
