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?

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

Weird, are the clouds airbrushed in or altered in one or both?

Because I'm looking at some of the plants and grass as reference points and they look identical

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...

H75 stands for Heppenheim close to the Odenwald hills.
