The last mystery of the year
This year we tried to solve many (Monday) mysteries. Most of them we were able to solve with the help of you - our loyal readers. Some, unfortunately, remain unknown. Today the last mystery of the year.
This picture was sent in by Gerhard. We see the PreWarCar of the great grandfather of his wife. Until 1944 his wife’s great grandfather lived in Guben, in Germany near the Polish border. The number plate tells us the car was registered IE which is the province of Brandenburg.
Who can tell us more about the PreWarCar in the picture? Please comment below.
Do you also have an mysterious vehicle that you would like to know more about? Please send us a picture – we are more than happy to find more information about the to you unknown vehicle and help solving your mysteries in 2020!

That's a Pluto 4/20 PS. It was built from 1924 to 1927 in Zella-Mehlis under an Amilcar license.

The photo sent in by Gerhard Riek shows a "Pluto" - basically an Amilcar-licensed car built by the "Automobilfabrik Zella-Mehlis Gmbh" in the former "Erhardt" works in Thuringia, Central Germany. The car can be easily identified by the silhouette of the hellhound which - in ancient mythology - is related to the god of the underworld "Pluto" (in Latin, "Hades" in Greek). I've attached a photo from my collection (dated August 1925) showing a Pluto where the logo is recognizable on the radiator. The manufacturer of the Pluto cars also built significantly enhanced versions of the Amilcar including a supercharged one with maximum output of 60 hp. In 1928, production was discontinued due to lack of funds.
