When we were young my brother had a book about cars and there was a picture of an unusual car, perhaps from around the 1930s, which looked a bit like a Rumpler, Crossley-Burney Streamliner or more old-fashioned version of Fiat Multipla/BMW 600.
I remember it being called the Hotchkiss Multiplex but I cannot find any reference to it on-line. Perhaps it was a concept which never materialised, or a special body made for a chassis, perhaps the book's writer was wrong or perhaps I am mistaken.
Anyway, if anyone has/can find a picture or info I would be really grateful. Not important, purely curiosity!

Could it be the Gaston-Grümmer bodied Hotchkiss l’Aeroprofil?

^ Interesting styling, and many thanks, but no, it was definitely more flat-fronted like a BMW 600 or Rumpler Tropfenwagen/teardrop

Away from home and PC and reference books again but my brain is telling me Magirus-Deutz I have seen some images of flat fronted coaches this morning but cannot find the streamlining which I feel sure is the one your after Marcus

Pretty sure it was Hotchkiss Multiplex!
-
What sort of era are we talking?

I think 1920s to 1940s. It is pure curiosity, not important so don't waste too much time!
