Hi Photo War:
I believe your first photo is an early Kfz.15 by Horch.
Second photo should be a German Ford 1937-1938 V-8 Bus.

Here is an ever so slightly better photo of the bus.

Hello! It looks like a Horch but which model is this? Thanks for looking!

That, Sir, was a challenge. Two hours of research and I think I have it.
The best clues are the arrangement of the louvres in the side of the motor hood and the radiator mascot.
BTW, my field of research is 1935-1945 and I believe this car is from 1930 and I have little data/photos on earlier vehicles.
In any case, my best guess you can see below.

Hi Bill,
Well done! The louvres shouted Adler to me, but then when I couldn't find anything with the large hood ornament I gave up, after a paltry 30 minutes. I should have ploughed on to the two hour mark!
Cheers

Hi Stever:
I have not done so before, but let me here give you credit for taking up where I left off a couple of years ago.
Your ID instincts are spot on and very helpful to all of us here.
I should mention that I officially retired at age almost 71 from my retail shop on the 1st January (4th career for me and at 19 years the longest one) and I hope now to devote rather a bit more time to this hobby of researching soft skin vehicles of the period 1935-1945.
Of course, I must first go through the almost 4 page list that my Wife and live in Sister in Law have presented me of "Things you must do when you retire". I have been officially designated their "Man Slave", no reference to the subjects on this Forum, and I have to sneak on to the computer sometimes.
Thank goodness, we are experiencing one of our once in a decade snow storms here in Atlanta GA and the whole city is more or less paralyzed so I could spend a lot of time in research today.
The bad side of that is that I am a fairly heavy smoker and I just read yesterday that our State is wanting to raise the tax on cigarettes by about 60% which my Wife is giving me a bit of grief about.
At least the cost of Wine here is still cheap, so the world will not end.

Hi Alexander:
Glad to help out.
As you can see from my latest post, I hope to do this at a higher level, given that I am not an expert, just enthusiastic about the subject.

Hi Bill,
Happy retirement! My father in law had a similar list for when he retired, and managed to finish them all off in three weeks... although he wasn't snowed in with a plentiful supply of wine!
Thanks for your kind words, and of course thanks for all your invaluable help over the years, your broad knowledge of softskin vehicles is a resource I fully intend to continue tapping into.
Now, where's the next challenge...
Cheers
