RÖHR ( 1927 - 1938 )
The German RÖHR Company - founded by Gustav Röhr - started late in the automobile industry using the ancient factory plant from FALCON .
They presented their first car in 1927.
It was a large 8 - cylinder car in the luxury segment. They sold not many of these car cars so they tried to offer a cheaper 4 - cylinder car, the RÖHR Junior, one of the first front wheel drive automobiles. It was the "best-seller" for RÖHR ( 1,700 cars ) but not enough to survive.
In 1938 they sold the factory to STOEWER and the RÖHR Junior became the STOEWER Greif.
All RÖHR emblems are hard to find. You have to looks years for them.

In 1930 the new Röhr 8 type RA showed another emblem on the radiator: the number 8 with ornaments. A radiator mascot with the letter R only but no script on the grill indicated that it was a Röhr.
Question of understatement ?
