Junkman ◊ 2006-09-19 15:06	W150???? No, man, not even half of that. This is a post-war 220 (W187) with incorrect rear window, taillights and trunklid hinges.
pilou ◊ 2006-09-19 15:12	Agree with Junkman.Probably a car that was damaged or wrotten at the rear, incorrectly remade.
Junkman ◊ 2006-09-19 15:35	This kind of 'restoration' was very popular in the 60s, when the vintage car scene was less established and accurate spare parts hard to come by.
Tönz ◊ 2006-09-19 17:05	Didn't mean this one proposing W150. Not even sure it's a W187. The hinges of the trunk refer to a 1949 170 S [W136/IV]
rocketron ◊ 2009-09-23 16:18	this is no w187 for a start the rear window is far too large,secondly the boot is of a different shape to a w187 it being longer in depth on the picture also door handles and chrome trim are different all this leads to w136 being the likely model
