This seems useful when you are stuck, just yell into the huge speakers HELP
I like the reversed vent wings
What were the speakers for? Did they play something or yell as you drove through a neighborhood with something for sale and people could come outside to buy it?

Something happened between the two pictures to the door handle. Did they tie the tow rope to it?

no, only the earliest buses if not only the prototypes had the front opening piano hinge vent wings. they were mostly piano hinged in the front. maybe a M ehraussstattung for pre Dez 52 buses ? makes sense for hot climate.
this is an early bus, seems to have short upper panel cargo vents ( mid 51 down) and possibly early front rain gutters ( 50). not sure.

I have pics of 50,51 and 52s with the reverse piano hinge. Probably a hot climate thing like you said. But a factory option as it was demonstrated in original VW literature. Including on Central European (so not that hot  ) buses.

Is there a known M code for that ? I looked through Eccles M code list and couldn't find one, Maybe I missed it or it wasn't listed. Do you think it was connected to the Safari window option ? the Brazilian above bus doesn't seem to have Safaris.

No known M-code.
I doubt it’ll be linked to safaris. From the pictures I can tell of buses with suicide quarterlights they don’t have safaris. In fact I have only ever seen evidence of 1 piano hinge quarterlight bus with OG safaris and I believe that was one of the last 52s and was a demonstration bus for the up and coming safaris offered from 53.

One of my buses had that but if I recall it looked like it was not professionally done ...

original location in Vienna. Linke Wienzeile 4. unfortunately it looks very dull today ( like the hybrid taxi) and the glamour of the 1950s has faded away.
Kino Wienzeile was a cinema and they were just promoting the latest Austrian Kitsch movie, loosely based on an an Operetta from Fred Raymond (Vesely).
Die Perle von Tokay was filmed/produced in 1953/4. so the pic above probably dates from 1954.
I love that era and its a pity that most all of it has vanished.
this is the original movie poster that is actually displayed on the DLX. couldnt find a higher resolution pic.

Can we assume the second Bus in the line-up is probably primer? It doesn't have the gloss of the other Buses beside it and the bumper and VW emblem are all the same color?

Interesting - I agree with you

I was trying to find the other picture the other day to see if it was in that.
I wondered if they fiddled the production order so the 1,000th bus was a shiny one that would look good in promotional pictures, rather than the primer one next door.
