m-mman Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The bodies look German, but they dont seem like the usual German suspects. The hub caps seem to have similar concentric circles with no identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The second one may be a 1933 Audi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thanks. The hood lovers seem to match. The 4 door is more streamlined so I'm thinking that it is later (35-6?) the black 2 dr seems 34ish? Did Auto Union use the 4 rings at this time?

Casper Friederich Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Wrong, instead we have here two of Carl F.W. Borgward's products. The first car is a 1938-39 Hansa 2000, 6 cylinder 2-litre engine. The second car is a Hansa 1100 introduced at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show. It was Borgward's first car with four cylinders and four wheels. A kind of Third Reich Borgward Isabella, but not that common even in Germany. Exported to States like Sweden and Estonia, I never heard of anyone here in Finland though. However, in the public domain is a film made by the Finish Automobile Association in the early 50s. The subject is buying a car, a warning to buy such an odd ball used car as a Hansa 2000. The car in the short movie had probably been left over by the German Troops when they retired from Lappland.

m-mman Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Yikes, no wonder they were not easily identified. Thank you for the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
