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”.

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.
