1937-39 Adler 2,5 Litre "Autobahn" The factory bodied 4-door sedan and bellow the Sport-Limousine with three carbs and raised compression. I am very sure that the  streamline coachwork is by Buhne as the photo is from 1938 Berlin Motor Show. Gläser did also quite similar fastback bodies on this rear-wheel drive six cylinder Adler chassis, but not as Beautiful as Buhne's version is my personal opinion.

Erik Åkerlunds Duesenberg modell J med motornummer J 263 och registreringsnummer B490 vid en Concours d´Elegance-tävling i Cannes. Bilden har publicerats i Autohistorica 4/80.

 

Just A Car Guy: Duesenburg size comparison, they were impressive ...

Denna bild visar en av de två Duesenberg modell J som kom till Sverige 1930. Den här bilen med 7-sitsig limousine karossos, förmodligen från Willoughby, hade motornummer J 263 och besiktigades den 17 februari 1930 och registrerades dagen därpå på direktör Erik Åkerlund. Registreringsnumret blev B490 eftersom Erik Åkerlund då bodde i Stocksund utanför Stockholm. Efter en kort tid ersattes den ursprungliga karossen och skärmar med en 2-dörrars coupé-kaross från Figoni. Bilden har varit publicerad i Autohistorica 2/68.

Eleanor Roosevelt in car, 1934 | Eleanor roosevelt, Hillarious ...

 

Thank you, John for sharing this picture.

 

Having toured for a dozen years, and then restored and showed our 1934 Buick 34-57 all the way to Grand National Senior status, the '34 Buick is among my favorites - even better as this 34-56C or 34-66C Series convertible coupe

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was a national treasure, especially in my Dad's eyes for having visited his 6th Special USN SeaBee Battalion in the South Pacific during WWII.

Additionally, this photo is even more interesting to me since I attended the University of Kentucky back in the early 1960s.
