1931 Stoewer G15

Wendax · « **Reply #3 on:** June 06, 2013, 08:55:37 AM »

Not Stoewer and earlier

But German?

No, more obscure

Not Röhr, but the time is right

4popoid · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2013, 03:04:00 AM »

1929 NAG-Protos TYP 201 (12/60 PS)? It could be a TYP 204 (14/70), with a bored out engine, and a longer body (same wheelbase). From this picture angle I can't tell for sure, but I think this is the shorter bodied TYP 201.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2013, 05:58:48 AM »

Sorry, not a NAG-Protos

4popoid · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2013, 03:30:33 PM »

I haven't been able to locate a picture, but the verbiage, specs and dates sound about right, so how about: 1928/29 Certus 8/45 PS?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2013, 03:39:06 PM »

Car size and time is about right, but it is not a Certus, sorry.

Kuhn 8/40 PS, 1928?

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** June 08, 2013, 05:50:51 PM »

Yes, it is a Kühn 8/40 PS from 1928/1929, also known as the Kühn K8. It was a luxurious version of the Opel 8/40 PS, built by the coachbuilder Kühn and marketed under his own name.

One more point for you. Five points left before reaching (the well-deserved) professional status.

Why does it look like there was badly-done cut-and-paste editing done on part of the picture ( around the front wheel & the sitting guy's pants)? Is there a copy of the photo available without this?

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** June 09, 2013, 01:59:07 PM »

There was an awful "watermark" by an ebay seller. I didn't save the watermarked picture.

Oh, OK. I guess you have to do what you have to do...

The Kühn stand at the 1928 IAA:

The watermarked picture appeared again, so here it is:
