Yes, there used to be a brand called Lloyd. These vehicles also had the nickname "Hansaplast-Bomber", which referred to the way they were built - namely from a mixture of materials which, if my memory does not fail me, consisted of cardboard and laminates of dubious qualities. The vehicle was used as a benchmarking basis for the Trabi cars of Eastern Germany. The Lloyd was meant to be an affordable, yet dignified vehicle for people with high aspirations and small budgets. A little executive-car, if you will. They sadly didn't quite hit it off though, and then disappeared from the scene some time in the 1960s, I believe...

Norddeutsche Automobil und Motoren GmbH was a German brand created in 1908 and was owned by the Norddeutsche Lloyd shipping company. The factory was in Bremen.
