PM me with your answer (Make, model and year).

Please do NOT post anything in the comments that will help others to identify the vehicle.

Please do NOT use reverse image lookup, as it defeats the entire purpose of the game.

 

1957-1958 Zundapp Janus 250 (or 750)  I suspect it sometimes being called a 750 is because of the poor choice of font for the "2".

It's silly that some would use a reverse image search. All the fun for me is the search. This particular one took a while, and I never did find your exact photo.

Totally agree with you Skip.  Ironic in this instance though, this car must be one of the most symmetrical ever made .

Folks with kids may have had somewhat of an advantage, because this car was Professor Z in "Cars 2." That is how I found it.

Love the pushme-pullyu optical illusion.

Is that a front-engined Beetle?

Well, it certainly isn't rear-wheel drive.

Would this be considered a two door sedan, quick loader, even quicker exits in a crash, unless it's one of the middle cars in a multi car stoplight type accident, but I guess that's why the top opens up.
