Starting the new year with an obscure coachbuilder.

For one point, please respond and identify the coachbuilder and the name he gave this body.

Neither coachbuilder nor body were called that.  :D

A very dynamic windscreen design, perfectly corresponding with the extreme "Spitzkühler".

I´d say, this is a ca.1920-1925 design.

I have no idea, but we can narrow it a bit:

is it from the northern half of germany?

Time and place are both a good guess.

I know you haven't asked for the chassis maker on this one but to narrow things down is the car based on a 1924 Dehn?

I don't know what chassis this body was put on. The picture is taken from an ad by the coachbuilder. It seems to be proposed as a universal body that could be fitted to "any" chassis.

It's the 'Glüer' body type "Guatemala" from Glüer Fahrzeugbau GmbH Kiel.

Thanks, but it'll be a brief visit only...  :-\

Some time ago I've saved these pics for a geographical puzzle, but had reasonable doubts it would be solved too quickly...  ;)
