The eagle wings
on the radiator tell us this is an Adler. Before the war this was
the next step up from the smoky DKW
and this very special Kabriolet is definitely upmarket. Adler started car making
in 1899 by using the De Dion design and soon earned a reputation for
high quality. Most taxi cabs in Berlin before WW I carried the eagle
badge. After the "Anschluss" the eminent designer Karl F.
Jentschke from Steyr-Werke worked for Adler.
