It appears they are Norway's largest car dealer
from the chronological history on their website:
1948
On October 21 Harald A. Møller AS becomes the Norwegian Volkswagen importer, the 7th importer
in the world. The majority of the dealer network consists of Dodge dealers who sold wood gas
generators during the war. During the year one car arrives in Norway, but that car was borrowed and
was returned. The next year, 1949, 190 cars were imported. A car cost NOK 9,300.
In December 1948 the first advertisement in Norway for Volkswagen was printed in the national
newspaper Aftenposten’s morning edition – “We have taken over the representation of Volkswagen
in Norway” Harald A. Møller AS.
1949
The first 190 VW Beetles were imported. On July 11, 1949, the two engineers, Kolberg and Caspary,
sell all of their shares in the company to the manager, Harald A. Møller. _________________ regards

Did anyone notice the other bus in the pic? Is it just me or does it look coachbuilt?
by the way i found a second pic taken at the exact same location - Lech am Arlberg, Austria.

Any story behind the early deluxe with samba written on it. what country is that license plate? lhd. how can you tell it is a 52 and not a 51? |
It looks like it starts with a J, followed by four digits. Given the age, that could mean Jersey in the Channel Islands (UK dependency off the coast of France). |
wouldn't cars in Jersey have had the steering wheel on the right? like in the UK? |
They drive on the left, but they're also a lot closer to France than to England...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey
Would make sense to import from mainland Europe. |
Looks like it could be a Danish plate
