Wow, that is cool. Not very aero though 
. But seriously, that's a really cool piece. You could probably sell it for a good chunk of change around here. I live in the land of mid-century modern.

the forum has had a number of discussion threads on Heidemann products; you can employ the search function to pull them up if wished

appears 1950's era
chainset is Thun
rear coaster hub will be a Fichtel & Sachs product whether marked Torpedo, Centrix, or other
is there anything inside the "continental kit", or is it an empty shell?
may have been brought to U.S. by member of armed forces who was stationed in Germany
