Obviously in a hurry to get out, and get on with whatever it was they were doing, as the car door has been left wide open, ready to be caught by the wind. I can't imagine that anything he said was that funny! Maybe her response to his suggestion! |

This has been posted before, maybe larger and cleaner. Not a complaint, it's one of my faves! Any background on this one? Publicity photo maybe? |

No idea - it was in a scrapbook that someone made up and I bought at a swapmeet. Sorry, I haven't completed going thru all of the 500 pages yet :-) |

LOL, thanks! The scalloped edges make it look like personal photograph, but it is well composed and has no people in it, making me think it's a marketing photo, odd to be in a scrapbook. |

Hmmm, good question.
There are bound to be repeats, no big deal.
I posted it... in 2017:
I had it labeled as a postcard image but not sure where I got that description - it was probably from eBay _________________ How to Post Photos

That would be consistent with a marketing photo, as opposed to a snapshot.
Marketing for VW, or the Chamber of Commerce for the area? Hard to identify the location, but that's the appeal; kinda reminds me of the California Sierras, for example. |

pretty sure the reg number indicates a Hessen car (american zone) and this area has plenty of trees and winding roads... _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

Early design flaw... yup, you guessed it, the door check strap, passenger side.

H75 stands for Heppenheim close to the Odenwald hills. |
