^ well this was interesting. My father once told me about this car, and i saw one in the "Deutsches Museum" at Munich. But i did not connect Aktung's photo with it at first - on the photo it somehow looks like a pointed end, not like a vertical 'fin'..
It was a bit futuristic for its time, so Fritz Lang even used (and wrecked) ten of those in his Metropolis film from 1927:

OT Rumpler sure was ingenious and clever, but he will never be forgiven for stealing the "Taube" idea and concept from Igo Etrich including the yoke idea - the "Etrich Taube" was the original plane, first one to be fully aerobatic b.t.w.. Rumpler stole/violated Etrich's patent and built the same plane under his own name.

Eichhörnchen · 07-19-20, 02:01 PM

So is it Italian?

Catfish · 07-19-20, 02:08 PM

Not a Bugatti.
Not italian.

skidman · 07-19-20, 02:09 PM

French?

Catfish · 07-19-20, 02:09 PM

I guess for the Bugatti's money you could have bought 30 of those

Hint: it is not a french car either.

A product of the well known Swiss motor industry?
