Rona!d Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17963  Posted July 14, 2022 Instead of my poor indoor snaps, I´d like to share photos of the selling classic car dealer which show the car in it´s whole glory: Stoewer R 150 Sport In the 1910s and 1920s Stoewer had massive 8 cyl. luxary cars (for example 8,6 ltr. with 100 hp) and were among the first german makers with full hydraulic brakes. On par or sometimes ahead of Horch for example. In the 1930s Stoewer switched from large size to more modern smaller cars. This R150 was part of the new R-line with front wheel drive which was pretty modern in that era. This is a 1934 car, the year the two long term owners, the Stoewer brothers, lost control of their company. They were ruling the german automobile industry for more than 30 years. Some would say the most innovative years. They even survived the great depression around 1929 where MANY car makers have died. The headquarter was in Stettin, which is in Poland now. The Russians took all the assembly tools, the factory was history. Most fascinating company! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lx1jon Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17965  Posted July 14, 2022 Ronald, many thanks for sharing this lovely car and the story behind it. Your first shot had me fooled into thinking it was one of the enormous grand cars beloved of 30s Hollywood stars, but once I saw the radiator and headlights I knew it was far too tasteful for that, and somehow suspected it must be German. I sought out pictures of the makes I was aware of, but nothing fitted. In the end I must admit it took internet sleuthing to find makes I wasn’t aware of and that led me to the solution. I should also thank all the participants in this thread for the entertainment and education it has given me, as I’ve been following it for many years now, but did not post before as I had nothing suitable to offer that satisfied forum rules. Fortunately we got my wife a DLux recently which I borrowed when visiting a local show last summer. So I now have some pics which qualify. I’ll post something later today. It might be a bit easier though 🙂 Jonathan 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17966  Posted July 14, 2022 The 4WD BMW I mentioned before was a 1930s/40s military vehicle which also had 4-wheel steering! Much too complex and heavy for it´s purpose. At BMW it was called "BMW 325". Stoewer´s 4WD version was a special version of the R180 which came from the R-line. The follow up from the innovative R-line was the RWD Stoewer Greif Junior in 1936, a Tatra 30 license of the Röhr Junior. Stoewer bought the bancrupt Neue Röhr AG and developed the Stoewer Junior with a new body and other changes. The R-line was the highlight of the Stoewer history. Like Adler the Stoewer company also built bicycles and typewriters (as an own seperated company from the car brand). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx1jon Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17967  Posted July 14, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, here's the first crop of the next puzzle car* — I imagine I will have to reveal other views in due course, but then some of you hawk-eyes might know it from just this, who knows? Enjoy! * assuming I manage to do the right thing with my first upload! Jonathan Welcome, dear visitor!

Hektor, I remember that car, was a 1921 model if I recall right? Had a nice vintage looking hood. Here another lovely Stoewer, the model "Arkona". Such a beauty. Could be an Alfa or BMW too 😉 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoewer#/media/Datei:Stoewer_Arkona,_Bj._1940_(4)_2009-10-13.jpg  And there was the D7 which had an 11ltr. 120hp. 6cyl. flight engine. 160 km/h in 1919 !   1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17976 Â Posted July 14, 2022 I would think this is a 1960s FIAT 1500. Either a 1500S OSCA or Pinifarina Coupe/Cabriolet. Could also be the same model as 1600cc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx1jon Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17977  Posted July 14, 2022 I'm impressed, Ronald, it certainly is one of those. The final pictures will reveal the branding, but first some crops I would have slowly revealed if no one had got it. As  for 1500/1600 I have no further information, the ticket in the window didn't say. It did show that the car had been exhibited in the Goodwood Revival pre-66 show in 2019 (whereas I saw it in a local show last summer), perhaps some forum member was in attendance and might know more?  Welcome, dear visitor!

lx1jon Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17979  Posted July 14, 2022 Here we have the whole car in view, and for me it was the stand-out of the show. Probably showing my age, but this for me is what coupés should be like. Airy glasshouse and a light touch in design. Welcome, dear visitor!

lx1jon Posted July 14, 2022 Share #17980  Posted July 14, 2022 Well I shouldn't keep you all in suspense any longer, as Ronald has indeed essentially nailed it already.
