"Brand New Convertible"
Here's two more 35mm Kodachrome slides from my personal collection showing a happy American GI and his wife with their brand new L 374 Sepia Silver/Red Leatherette Volkswagen Convertible, somewhere in the Black Forrest's of Germany in 1956.
Enjoy!

That's a different hood badge. I've seen some odd ones, but not that one. Any thoughts? _________________ Jack Staggs

Sorry the photo isnt very good quality, my bosses dad asked me to scan it in for a friend of his, she is the lady that took the photo. Mrs J Woodall from Crewe in Cheshire, the photo was taken in the winter of '62-'63 on The Devils Elbow in Perthshire Scotland. |

........."I wouldn't stop!"
That was somewhere in Berlin in the British Sector, a limited access road through the Russian Sector (before the wall) to access another remote part of the British or American Sector?

"Hamburger Urlaub"
A charming elderly couple on vacation, driving a brand new L331 Horizon Blue Sunroof car.
*Parked at the "Hotel Stadt" Hamburg (which is still in business) 1956.*
Another 35mm color Kodachrome slide from my personal collection.
Enjoy!
