Champion 400 (later "Maico" Champion), mid-fifties.
Much smaller than a Volkswagen.

most probably another shot fromt the Grossglockner Hochportal. Check the motorcycle riders in the background.  these guys didn't fear the weather back then.
The Samba has another S 72 *** registration, which were assigned to taxis/ tourist buses in S alzburg.

the champion has a lot in common with the beetle. tube chassis, rear engine/gearbox independent suspension and swingaxles. the body was styled by drautz and the semi-circular windows revolved open/shut.

Is it weird that I'd like to see one of these "slammed on earlies" with a big VW powerplant? |
On the subject of Maico microcars, here is a picture of a sliding window latch from a 1957 Maico 500.
