For one point, specify the make of this car, the name of the original coachbuilder, along with who modified it as shown and for what purpose.

According to one source: 1929 Duesenberg J, first owned by Martin Strömberg and rebodied in 1943 by C.W. Andréns Vagn- & Karosseriverkstad, Stockholm, Sweden for Strömberg.
But according to another source: Andréns didn't really rebody the car, the body was modified to house Martin and Rolf Gülichs motorcycles. Car was purchased in mid 30:ies. The Duesenberg was first own by Kreuger, unsure whether it was Ivar or Torsten.

LOCKED for ropat53.

Excellent answer, missing one part which should be easy enough to find.

Who was the original coachbuilder of this 1929 Duesenberg Model J?

One point to ropat53 for the correct answer.  Interesting looking car, I wonder if there are more images of it out there somewhere?
