This page is for the short bodied Rumpler Tropfen-Auto of which three or four can be seen in the background.

These are cars of the first (1921/22) or possibly second series (1922/23) which used a six cylinder Siemens *Fächermotor* (I haven't found a good translation. One dictionary gives it as 'double-V-engine', which is okay for a four cylinger engine of this type. Imagine it as half a radial engine.) The third version used a more conventional 4 cylinder in-line Benz engine.
