Stoewer R 150
The Stoewer R 140 is a small car manufactured by Stoewer automotive company between 1932 and 1935; the name was changed to R 150 in 1934 and R 180 for the last year of production, to reflect larger engines being fitted. It has front-wheel drive, continuing the layout from the earlier V 5, albeit with a more traditional, inline engine as the predecessor's V4 had met with buyer resistance. The R 140 roadster retained the V 5's wheelbase but the chassis of the sedan and cabriolet (convertible) gained 25 cm (10 in). While a developmental dead end, the R-series cars helped keep Stoewer afloat during the Depression years.
