1933 Rohr, rare German luxury show car

Rohr was technically far ahead of its time, when it first appeared with a car of its own make, in 1928.  It had independent suspension on all four wheels, was based on a platform frame, instead of the ususal square or i-beam frame. Good engineering, but bad business made the company go under in 1937

The Rohr automobile is extremely rare. Even back in the 1970s, less than a half-dozen of them had been rescued by collectors or museums. Obviously, these, like many fine European cars, were annihilated in the ravages of World War II — lost in bombings, fires or scrapped for the value of their steel.

The manufacturer built this one-of-a-kind classic for a 1933 German automobile show: a radically streamlined fastback four-door pillarless hardtop (22 years before this style was revived in the U.S.). Its sloping grille was different from the production line. It had been preserved by an admiring owner, and was purchased years ago by Edgar E. Rohr

Tires were flat so often, that this solution was considered a great idea, and cars didn't driver very fast, since roads were in such terrible condition, and there were very few miles of paved road in the entire country of the US

Two guys couldn't get what they wanted. One built this car with parts off a wreck caused by a 16yr old who had a temper and destroyed his dad's GT/CS

An example of "what if" Ford had sold convertible 1968 GT/CS to the public, was put together by starting with a 1968 convertable stang, and using the unique parts from a real GT/CS.

Those rare parts were holding together what remained of a California Special that a kid thought his dad should have presented him with on his 16th birthday. When he didn't get his way, and blew his top, he put sugar in the gas tank, and broke the windshield.
