This type of body, where the top could be rolled down, was a Cabriolet Limousine, which originated in Germany, and was very popular in the 1930s.  The cast aluminum body, front wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering, torque bars for rear suspension, and all-independent suspension made it a very nice car in 1937.

The aluminum frame is in perfect condition and does not show any corrosion, even after 60 years.

This automobile is now on display at the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum.
