A sleek little sports car.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its obscure coachbuilder.

Looks like a 1937 DKW underneath that bodywork. :-\

There is a DKW underneath, but not from 1937

Is it a postwar DKW?

The base car is a prewar DKW, the body is probably prewar too.

No, I just have a three letter abbreviation of the coachbuilder. That's all.

hmm, no answer from the German coachbuilder's encyclopedia.

How can we move forward? Can you give any hints?
