pilou ◊ 2005-12-29 10:09	Yes , it may well be a 290 base.I think it is a pre 1938 car as shown by the front end and windshield.Also , 290 sedans had four " suicide" doors as on the ambulance here .This unit has non-standard artillery wheels (Mercedes wheels were plain) ,possibly to allow for mounting of post war tire sizes?
sixcyl ◊ 2005-12-29 10:15	so? should we name as 290 model 1938?
pilou ◊ 2005-12-29 10:54	No , not 1938 , the 290 was produced between 33 and 37.I would think this is a ca 1936 unit.
