Looks like the 'green flash' samba. Same green? Same arch trim/design.

In Europe back then it was normal to use a motorcycle in winter, because a lot of people couldn't afford a car, still had to go to work. My uncles keep telling me stories when the carburetors quit from icing and they had to push the motorcycle in a barn or stable with pigs and cows, to warm up the frozen carb and their frozen bodies. then they could go on. Most streets were just gravel roads. (outside of town)
Our cars were built only 5-10 yrs after the war and that era sure was chilly but also utterly amazing! building such quality cars in these circumstances seems just incredible.

interesting, search lights, sunroof, and the first cargo area window is either a slider or it has vent wings (i vote for wings)
