Mystery torpedo , 26 april 1931 , Bucharest, Romania

Mistery torpedo , 26 april 1931 , Bucharest, RomaniaDear PWC comunity ,
I have bought this nice picture from an antique merchant in Cluj , Romania .
On the back is written in romanian : "Memories from the main road - Bucharest - with good old friends ; 26 april 1931 . Ion Neagoe & his wife ; Ion Axinte & his wife , Madam Georgeta from Severin . Good luck and good health , prosperity and joy "
Not sure if Georgeta is the lady's name because the handwriting is worn , but for sure is referred to the lady-driver, the two couples being photographed near the car .
Severin is a romanian city located near the Danube aproximately 400 km away from Bucharest, so the lady(madam) must have travelled a couple of days to get to Bucharest and back.
That's what we know about this nice memory , but what about the nice car?
Can you please help me identtify it ?
Thank you , George Nica

This car is either a 1930 German Horch 8 type 500 (5 litre 8 cylinder) or NAG Protos 16/80 or 18/100 V8.

I can´t see the photo in high size, but I think this is a beautiful 1928 Hupmobile 8 phaeton. Nice car!
