Picture of an exhibition.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

That would have been too easy, wouldn't it?

Sometimes life shouldn't be so difficult, hey! You never knew ...

Is it German then?

Who knows this car?

One point for a reasonable year the basis car and the correct coachbuilding company.

Is it a postwar German re-body of a prewar car?

Exactly!

And the coachwork was executed by a rather known company.

Wendler, a Mercedes-Benz 320 which the company rebodied in 1950?

LOCKED for you!

Wendler bodywork - yes!

Mercedes - yes!

320 - according to my source, NO

EDIT 10.10.2016: Lorenzo721 seems to have been right here!

Three guesses for you to find out the correct chassis...

I have it as a 320, but on closer inspection that could indeed be wrong, as the chassis appears much too short.

I'll try 230 then.

Just as I hate mysteries, can anyone clarify if this is a 170 or a 320? There seems to be a lot of confusion about this.

The source was a 1949 cinema newsclip that featured some exhibits of  the 1949 Reutlinger motor show in Germany.

They explicitely named it a Mercedes 170...

But when I have a look at the other puzzle I am quite sure now, that my source was wrong  :P

Thank god Lorenzo721 named also the 320.

So might some administrator please merge those two puzzles?
