..as this is what it is; chassis no. 550-06 (they all seem to differ in details).
Well done.

I don't think they were officially called Buckelwagens, were they? I though that's just a nickname some of these early Weinsberg prototypes were given?

It does mean 'hunchback', yes.
Were they all made by Weinsberg?  If so I'll have to re-allocate the point!

I believe all the early cars with fins were made by Weinsberg while the cars made by Wendler were redesigned to not have it.

I'm not sure I should get the point as it seems like it was the nickname you were after, I just wanted to say that I wasn't wrong. :)

OK, I'll give you a point as well for the sake of accuracy!
