The first drawings of the Mauser Einspurauto showed a car without the front radiator. Is it this one?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #4 on:** February 13, 2015, 04:06:35 PM »

No Mauser connection as far as I know.

But it is also from Germany.

I really hope to find out more about it.

Its designation is clearly written on its front side, which I have photoshoped, of course

The photo must have shot during ca. 1919-1925.

That´s all I can do to help.

Atlantic?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2015, 04:41:23 PM »

Not Atlantic, but it also starts with an "A"...

Albatros?

Avro (A V Roe & Co.) "monocarboxylic"?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #9 on:** February 13, 2015, 06:53:44 PM »

Albatros is so close that I LOCK it for you, Wendax.

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:57:54 PM »

Well, that was a shot in the dark, an educated guess though. Reinhold Böhm, inventor of the first version of the Mauser Einspurauto, was airplane pilot for the Albatros company.

What might be close? Albatrace?

O.K.

I give you three more tries, because you´re definitly on the right track.

The first half of the name is correct, the second half is absolutely manageable...

Alba~~trace~~

Alba~~tros~~

But AlbaXXXXX

Albawagen?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2015, 03:55:18 PM »

Not -wagen, but you´re close.

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2015, 03:58:56 PM »

Albamobil?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2015, 04:23:49 PM »

YES!

Now I really try to find out more.

Unfortunately I did not find any trace so far, despite the fact that the licence plate is from pre-war Brandenburg...

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2015, 04:43:17 PM »

Reinhold Böhm had his company at Berlin-Johannisthal airport, so the location is another evidence for the assumption that this was a predecessor of the Mauser Einspurauto.

Nice find!
Could you post the unmodified pic, please?

Well, maybe this Mauser prototype from 1921 was the next step?
It shares the same mechanic principle to activate the side wheels with the Albamobil...
I found this photo some weeks ago - this prototype was also completely unknown to me before:

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:39:55 PM »

Yes, I think so. That is the Mauser I referred to in my first post:

A brochure of the early Mauser:

Yes - this is obviously the same design.

Now we have a kind of a logical chain!

That´s why I really love AutoPuzzles
