A Rookie-only puzzle showing a street scene with popular prewar cars.

For one point, identify all four cars (brand, model, year of introduction). Only answers with guesses for each car will be regarded.

A and B are correct, C and D aren't. Just to clarify, D is not the DKW with its front hidden behind the couple, but the car at the right showing only its rear part. Two right guesses give you a lock for two more guesses.

So for the Renault I'd say a 1934 Celtaquatre, for the other one I have a hard time figuring out if it's a convertible or a coupe... So I'll try this bold guess: BMW?

Yes, car C is a 1934 Renault Celtaquatre ZR1.
Car D is not a BMW.

The correct identification of the Celtaquatre earns you a lock.

Now I feel stupid because my first though was a rear-engined Mercedes but I didn't check the right model...
So this is a 1934-36 Mercedes-Benz 130 (W23)

Yes, in case it is the 1935 model.

This earns you another point, well done!
