Stoewer D6 police wagon with body by Danish coachbuilder V. Frandsen.

That's right, but how on earth did you find it without any guesses? It's only published in a archive in a obscure Danish-only magazine that have been put of print for twenty years and I can not find the source with searching for either v frandsens karosserifabrik or Stoewer.  ???


You did not just google reverse image search, did you?

Well, well, the point is yours.

Galrot, I recognize your screen name, so I think you know might know me from at least one other website. I'm the director of an automotive history archive and the administrator of a world-wide group of automotive historians. I have been doing this for decades. And no, I do not use Google reverse image search.

The car itself is easily recognized; it is the coachbuilder that is more difficult. I cannot post a link here, but the magazine you reference is archived online and is part of a fantastic resource for Danish automotive history.

I realised you know an awful lot so that figures!
I'd been wondering if you were a professional historian.
Hopefully you'll be able to sort out some of our long-standing Pro and Black Hole puzzles...

I thought I knew a bit about cars... until I joined AutoPuzzles!

I would love to set aside an entire weekend to do nothing but work the BH and see how many I could solve. It's just a matter of finding the time. I doubt I would find any of the unsolved puzzles in there to be very easy, as there's obviously a lot of knowledge on this site.
