No. I might be being a bit devious here as I had never heard of the marque before. So it kind of nullifies the idea of trying to pluck the answer from within the old grey matter.

It does look like another famous car but it isn't that one either.

Through this thread I am amazed by the variety of different marques throughout the world and history.

I'm still looking for yours that isn't a Nobel 200 :-)

Yep German.But I do not remember the marque even when trying to recall my encyclopedia of cars from when christ was a cowboy.

Sorry, having difficulty posting a pic...

Yep, some weird and wonderful motors out there like this Oldsmobile.

Only a concept car, but very nice:

Oldsmobile golden rocket. I got this with help from my uncle. He is a master of old American cars.

hey einstein,you needn't have bothered waking him, you could have got it by reading the large sign behind the car in the top photo that says OLDSMOBILE GOLDEN ROCKET.

It's a fantastic collection and, very importantly, has a bar!

It is a very obscure marque but you are getting warm. OK East German

I am starting to get embarrassed I posted it.

DKW Vemag Belcar

DKW F9?

This car was originally developed by the Auto Union AG as a successor to the DKW F8, it was planned to present it in 1940.
At first it was built and sold as IFA DKW F9, and after 1952 as IFA F9. DKW sold a similar car as DKW Meisterklasse (F89).

IFA-F9 you were on the right track with the the diamond shaped badge.

If it was a DKW it would have a DKW green badge over the Auto Union "Olympic Rings"
