Does anybody know this car?
Never heard of a 7700 Mercedes. May be it's a typo for 770? Can't find this body style, anyway.

Perhaps a variation of a
Mercedes Benz 540K Cabriolet A?

It could also be this one, again a 540K, not a 770 http://www.boldride.com/ride/1937/mercedes-benz-540-k-cabriolet-a
That Colibri is an oldie. The U-channels for the window surrounds were a Brianza hallmark of the 1970's, I remember them on an early ABC Alfa I had. The change in detail level with recent EMC M-B models is quite evident, even though these were state of the art at the time.
