I believe this car was located in Southern California in the 70s. I found the photograph in this collection by Richard Guillis: https://pbase.com/asmywhim/automobiles&page=all

Hey Blue Baron. Do have more info on those two photos? Clearly it is the V303 "cornerstone ceremony" convertible and it looks like the other two V303 cars as well. They appear to be making some kind of a film with all the camera equipment present. Straight away I realized I had seen this scene before. Here is a little video I put together some years ago using various clips I had found. At the very end you can see the same location with the couple dancing!

Well, neither one of the “old” images are of a split window, except for the bus Laughing. Also your ride looks kinda hinky around the rear window (among other details) like the split has been grafted in... so I’m going to guess, oval as well.

Yes, Finster has the right answer Very Happy and Runkle is nearly right Laughing

But the Hirst-Käfers with Kübel head lights had the lights lying deeper in the mud yards Rolling Eyes
