Wanderer W23, converted to wood gas.

[Wendax]

That's a good start. Locked for you to give the specific name of this bodywork.

[sichel]

Do you mean "woody"? I hope it is big enough to carry an self-made Superior roadster...

[Wendax]

There was another name for it, only used by Wanderer I think.

[sichel]

Is "Farmerwagen" a better fit?

[Wendax]

Yes, a  Farmerwagen. Now we are almost there, just one letter missing in the type designation.

[sichel]

sichel says "S"

[Wendax]

Correct, this car used the W 23 S chassis with rigid axles.
What makes the puzzle picture really interesting is the fact that (according to Erdmann/Westermann's Wanderer book) just one single Farmerwagen prototype was built in 1941. The puzzle picture was taken after WW2 when the car was owned by the bus company Deist & Trube in Bad Sooden-Allendorf. The cellophane side and rear windows had been replaced by solid wood then and a wood gas generator had been added.
