I only observed by chance, that those two photo must show the same (and rather unusual) car and made a puzzle out of them.

Now I know what it is!

It was called "verpatzte Benzin-Schiltkröte" in a contemporary source, which means "foozled gasoline-turtle".

The overall text is written in a very negative style, bashing all those modernistic, nonsense future cars of the time.

Looking back, this period after WW1 was a very creative time and we can enjoy some of those here at Autopuzzles...
