A typical design for its time.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

Partially German. I don't know whether exactly this drawing ever materialized.

Neither Adler nor Hornig. Remember, it is only partially German.

Austrian Steyr 530 by Gläser
... it is a Steyr by Gläser. I have a different type though. Locked for ropat53 to find the right one.

It's hard to tell from a drawing it could be any of the two predecessor models.
I'll try Steyr 120 Super.
