I think it looks like a Mercedes Benz and it could be one of many different models and even more coach builder possibilities.

I think you are correct ropat.  I believe it is a Mercedes Benz 460 Nürburg, but specifically the original 1928 (high frame) design, not the sleeker low frame design which originated in 1929, although the high frame design was still available in 1929, as well.  As you said, it could be any of several coachbuilders, I'll try Jos. Neuss.

You are getting closer, folks. It is a 1928 Mercedes-Benz Nürburg 460, but the correct coachbuilder hasn't been mentioned yet.
