yeah, but you have 2 of the coolest convertibles in the same picture.

VW hebmueller and a Borgward Isabella Coupe.

the Isabella coupe was a 2+2 with a 75hp motor. They were pretty fast and got good gas mileage (my dad had the sedan) They would hit 80mph and got 28 miles to the gallon.
My dad said it did go almost 160km/h. can't speak to that i was 3.....

by 1961 they went bankrupt, very sad really.

Question Question Question
I don't think the Borgward is a convertible, but maybe there's something wrong with my eyes. Shocked

it is a coupe, the photo is from a film - 'the 1000 eyes of dr mabuse' made in 1960
see https://www.imcdb.org/movie_54371-Die-1000-Augen-des-Dr-Mabuse.html
for the other vehicles including what the split window car is...

the rear part of that car really has the look of a Karmann Ghia.
