That is great that you have the info on them. I guess then I have just added one more pic to the mix loaded for all to see.

Dear all,

Back in 1982, Kurt Stauss has indeed referred to 2 D&S coupes that he built (1952 split prototype + 1954 Tabakhändler) ... even though his own picture wall also showed press release photos of his very first 1953 coupe.

I was rather pleased to see your postcard from the mid 1950-ies, taken in front of the famous Cafe REAL in Vaduz (capital of Fürstentum Lichtenstein), which sadly closed its doors in 2010 after 90 years of operation. PS: The third photo showing the same care was taken in the inner city of St.Gallen (Switzerland).

There were other D&S coupes, too ...

When I started the D&S registry back in 1978, I didn't anticipate to cumulatively find pictorial evidence of 53 different D&S cars (tally thus far - I know that D&S have built more cars than that, hence please de-dust your photo albums ...) - sadly, only 20 have survived (known thus far - 19 convertibles & 1 coupe). Currently, there are just over 600 period photos in the registry and a D&S e-book is being prepared (just a bit very tight for time ...).

Best regards.
