Pawal, apparently one must patronize Face Book for the link to work.   Many do not use.  I could not get the fliker link to work either.

Yes, thank you, that is why I looked for and provided the other link for others to see the car. But you say it did not work either... :-\

Good other Members provided pictures, which I could have done as well...

Anyway, I did not realize there were cars like that. Also: they wear MB stars, which I find peculiar that Daimler agreed to that.

A car only it's mother could love...
May be the angle of the photo but given the Alfa is taken from a similar angle, I think I prefer the Alfa...

Many thanks Pawel. Is interesting input, as far I could find it was a special bodywork build on the basis of W142 (Mercedes 320). But I do not could find any more about the details, numbers etc.

I agree, that it looks Italian and if the car was build before the WW2 it looks very modern. Although in the 30’ies was also in Germany the Trend to build the Streamline bodyworks like the “Mercedes 500K Autobahnkurier”.
