I thought it was a Wanderer (not the Audi version) W21, which also had the concave grill.

Wilson, they all look similar, I would have trouble to determine which one it is. One thing is helpful here: The Hansas have a typical ventilation flap design in a cursive row.

These are really nice cars, I wouldn´t mind the 1700 Sport Cabrio Stuart mentioned earlier. Google it, there is a nice green one to find. My grandpa had one in the 1930s/40s followed by the nice streamlined Adler Autobahn 2.5ltr. cabrio (The Bauhaus design car).

Ronald, 

thanks for that info. The one I would like is Wanderer's answer to the Mille Miglia BMW 328, the W25K Streamline Special https://www.conceptcarz.com/profile/9283,17672/1938-wanderer-w25k-sports.aspx  Sadly all of the originals were destroyed during WW2, so the only ones now are the replicas built by Audi on a W25K regular chassis.

Wilson, indeed an interesting car but different breed (specials). And if I would have the choice designwise (not rarity) I´d prefer a standard BMW 328 Roadster anyway, maybe one of the slightly refined sports. If it comes to specials, the BMW MIlle Miglia versions (Coupe and Roadster) are more appealing to my eyes than the Wanderer Streamline which looks a bit "too much" (plus I don´t like the front end).

Thanks, Ronald.

Marque, model, close vintage.

Stuart, 

Those wheels look like Rudge Whitworth spline type, so maybe a European car but with a USA built body with Rumble seat. European rumble or dickey seats often just had a cotton duck tonneau cover, rather than the tumbling seat back, which forms the metal top. The only car I had with a rumble/dickey seat was a Scofield bodied Lagonda M45 (BGF662), which I believe is now in the Brooklands Museum Collection.

Yes to European.  I 'm nearly certain the body with dickey/rumble seat was standard from the factory.  Here's a wider crop from which I cloned out a badge that was high on the body just aft of the door.  More clues in my next post, if necessary.

Wilson is correct (then Hektor) that it's a Bug.  Now let's see if we can come up with the model and year:  these photos were from the pre-auction inspection day.
