The dark one made it on the front page too:

Both cars, the dark puzzle car and the light one were called Gomolzig Taifun. The light coloured two-seater is the older one, built in 1948/49. The dark four-seater was built in late 1949.

Who built this vehicle, and which car is it based upon?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2022, 11:09:27 PM »

When was the last time you saw a gullwing door, that included the windshield?

Experts?

hermanoto · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2022, 01:36:54 AM »

built by Herbert Molzig, Molzig Fahrzeug -und Machinenbau, Germany, ca 1949, VW based.

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:09:39 AM »

The car is from 1948, and based on a VW.

I have not been able to find a link between this car and "Molzig Fahrzeug und Maschinenbau".

LOCKED for a bit so hermanoto can research a different creator name for this vehicle.

hermanoto · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:12:33 AM »

it must have been Gomolzig

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:28:05 AM »

One point awarded to hermanoto.

My information indicated this was an Espenlaub (incorrect, even with 2 sources of information). Gomolzig worked for Espenlaub at one point, but this was his first independent project.

Being a Gomolzig creation, this is a duplicate puzzle.

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:44:11 AM »

It is certainly not an Espenlaub, but a Gomolzig. The wrong attribution has unfortunately even found its way in a book. But that book is full of mistakes anyway, many of them gathered from the web without further source checking.

Merged.
