Not them

The coachbuilder in question was mainly known for cars similar in appearance to the puzzle car.

Tolle ,dynamische Fotokarte, am Fahrzeug zu lesen "Auto Steilwand" und vorne am Kühler ein "Totenkopf"

Yes, the driver Paul Flöthmann usually earned his money driving his car at a Wall of Death. His tough looks were accompagnied by a skull emblem at the radiator.

The extra point goes to Pal.
