It's a shame a lot of these photos don't come with some basic information at to their wherabouts, or some history as to what is on show. I bet wherever this place is, is a whole lot busier these days than when this picture was taken..

Isn't that a Hanomag on the far right? That company's version of what a 'People's car' should look like, when Adolf required manufacturers to submit their views on the subject. https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection/cars/item/hanomag-1-3-liter-saloon-1939/

Pre war, even Hebmuller teamed up with Hanomag, to produce some very nice looking cars: https://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2319

the location is trondheim 1953 - I'm thinking that the car is a DKW or IFA f9

What a great photo. It would seem to be taking part in the Greelk Acropolis Rally, which Wikipedia says started in 1951. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acropolis_Rally It also says:

The Acropolis Rally has been held since 1951 by the Greek Motorsports Organization Automobile and Touring Club of Greece (ELPA), making it one of the longest-standing competitions in world rallying. Many world renown drivers have won this event including Walter Röhrl, Björn Waldegård, Ari Vatanen, Stig Blomqvist, Juha Kankkunen, Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae, among others.

Due to the nature of the race, with a mix of rough, twisty, fast mountain stages and coupled with blistering heat and choking dust, the Acropolis Rally is one of the toughest on the European and World Rally circuits. The cars used in the race must be built with extra sturdiness in order to cope with the fast but rock-strewn stages. Drivers and co-drivers also have to contend with the pounding terrain and high summer temperatures which often reached 50 °C within the cockpit. Many drivers rate the event as a test of skill, patience, bravery and endurance in the past, going as far as comparing the Acropolis with the infamous Safari Rally.

So, good to have seen a Kubel take part, even if it wasn't the 1st time they made an appearance in Greece, and maybe this one was left as a 'gift' at the end of WW2?
Also dig that de-luxe steering wheel, and a roof that looked like a billiard table surface.
