An Austro Daimler Mystery? (update: or is it Gräf & Stift)

An Austro Daimler Mystery? (update: or is it Gräf & Stift)

  • An Austro Daimler Mystery? (update: or is it Gräf & Stift)



Peter Skofic sends this lovely Sunday out portrait. To the well educated observer there's not only a big happy family but also a large & low, attractive motorcar in the picture.   "Could anybody of your readers recognize this car? The photo was taken in early 30's in Maribor, Slovenia. I know some of the kids showing in front of the car but the car itself is a mystery for me. Can anybody help me with resolving this puzzle?" Peter presumes it could be an Austra Daimler. If so possibly a 1930  ADR-8 similar to the chassis depicted here?

Adding to my former post I think the coachwork could be from Köllensberger Innsbruck, there are pic´s of a very similar car in white or ivory with dark fenders. Front scuttle and the way the hood is mounted shows certain similarities.
Kind regards Thomas

I am totaly sure that the car is an Austro Daimler either ADM 3litre sport or a ADR6
unbelivable but looking for pics in the web I came across the following.

I tend more towards Graf und Stift for the following reasons: the peculiar sidelights are only found on G & S cars as far as I know. The bonnet on an Austro-Daimler goes all,the way to the level of the windscreen.

editor: There are ADs like this 12/70 with similar bonnet dimensions.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Austro-Daimler_AD_12-70,_1930_-_Flickr_-_granada_turnier_(1).jpg
