Solved: Wendax 700 - Standard H 204

[Wendax]

It has a nice patina.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

[kwgibbs]

Butz?

[Wendax]

Not a Butz

[Bill Murray]

I know this is probably terribly off the mark but I cannot resist a swing.

It could almost pass for a 1932ish Tatra 57 by the look of the motor hood and
the front suspension.  However, the 57 was air cooled and this one seems to
have a radiator cap in the normal position.  It is also LHD and most 57s I have
seen were RHD.

Just rambling.

[Wendax]

It's not a Tatra

German?

[Wendax]

Yes

[Carnut]

Is this one anything to do with Josef Ganz?

[Wendax]

Yes, there is a connection.

[Carnut]

via Standard Superior?

[Wendax]

The puzzle car is a Standard, but not a Superior. Locked for you.

Thanks.
Haven't been able to find too many Standard models though..
Some kind of very early prototype 500 (Volkswagen!)?

[Wendax]

Let me give you a hint: The rear part of this vehicle is more of a utilitarian type.

[Bill Murray]

Well, I started out with a Tatra connection which did not work, although the designer did work with Tatra before the whole  VW story which has spawned many books and a large lawsuit.
To try to help Norman out, and I am totally lost after hours of looking at the whole story of Ganz, Standard , Gutbrod and Butz, it looks to me to be
a Taxi, a Limousine or a Lieferwagen.

Go for it Norman!!!!!

Thanks Bill.  I've also spent far too many hours trawling the net in both English and German but really haven't come up with the answer.  I did find a German site which mentioned the Standard trucks but sadly without a picture or any name..
All I did find was that when the Standard Superior went out of production in 1935 the factory concentrated on vans and estate cars until 1939, but no-one mentions their names and I haven't found any pictures of them.  Moto-Standard perhaps?  Frankly though the puzzle picture looks pre-Standard Superior to me rather than 1935/9..

If anyone else knows anything they are welcome to add their piece!

[Wendax]

Ok, open for all again.

BTW, it is from 1936.

[Carnut]

Standard LKW?!

[Wendax]

Yes, it is a Standard, but LKW just means Lastkraftwagen (= truck). I need a model designation.

I know, but it's not beyond manufacturers to simply call their vehicles by what they are...

[Allemano]

Standard 1,5 Tonner?

[Wendax]

No

[Allemano]

H 504?

[Wendax]

Almost, this one is the smaller engined version. Locked for you.
