A nice back side.

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

I've got the wrong glasses on at the moment, so I can't see the radiator grille properly. So let's start by guessing the coachbuilder. Although it will most probably be answered with a shake of the head, I'll start with Gläser, Dresden.

You are right: it is not a Gläser body.

Another one of the big cabriobuilders who were on a par with Gläser?

A well-known coachbuilder, but not specialized in convertibles.

Can we circle the federal state first? The task is quite complex, the clearest indication is the step for the ascent to the "mother-in-law's seat"...

I think there are enough characteristic details to nail down the base car.  ;)

It's a shame, but AP is probably not a concert of wishes.

BMW 326 by Drauz from 1936.

Thank you. I could have stumbled across the typical hole pattern of the rim myself...

And those double bumpers are quite characteristic for the BMW 326.

Well, they wouldn't necessarily have put me up to it. Similar double bumpers were also available from other coachbuilders and I've also seen 326 BMWs with single bumpers. But be that as it may, the search was challenging and fun. And that's the crucial point!
