Vidal Tempo G-1200
This photo is from the book "Armored Vehicles of the Argentine Army" by the historian George Rauch. Observe the Swiss helmet and the Harley Davidson "Big Twin". The car is a German Vidal Tempo G 1200 4x4 four-wheels steering, 2cyl engines, 6-volt car battery.
Vidal Tempo G-1200. The tempo series off-road T-1200 (1935) and G-1200 (1936-43) were recognized vehicles of German fabrication. They were also known as Vidal & Sohn Tempo-Werke GmbH manufactured in Hamburg. The company was founded by Oscar Vidal. We found this photo and info on Wikipedia. The 3 crowns on the tag appear to indicate that this auto is Swedish.
Much like other commercial prototypes at the end of the 1930s, like the Wanderer W23S militarized as an Kfz11, the Vidal Tempo has a military body but many similarities to the Wanderer, Kfz11/12. The general characteristics were 6 cylinders, flat floor, backseat, trunk, and canvas roof. The beginning of standardization?
