 A piece of elegance.

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

Yes, very elegant. The coachwork looks like Wendler, but as for what's underneath . . . The wheels might be a clue for anyone who's seem them before. Unfortunately I don't think I have.
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

It looks German.  Is there an Opel underneath the elegant body?

Does the high radiator imply Lorraine-Dietrich?
