It's a modern photo. We've also seen it in color. |
The sticker on the license plate (emissions test) is far too modern. |
Oops, sorry folks. 
Westy should have been the first clue... the plate is the dead giveaway, “VW 2000”.

Smooth Gate drive by? |
There was some resistance to German vehicles in the 1950s, especially among the UAW crowd. Someone might have been registering their displeasure with the company for not buying American. |
This doesn't seem like a USA phone # though? |
Indeed. From the street signs I can tell that the picture was taken in Berlin Spandau, Jagowstraße/Neuendorfer Straße.
