just to highlight that the four door police cars were not made by karmann but by hebmuller, papler and austro-tatra, in case the above quote causes confusion.

apparently this is a cabrio that was modified for use by the police in the Hague, Holland. this from a website - "This is an ex police car of the municipality of The Hague. The official name for this car was the Volkswagen Kuip coach. The convertibles were converted by a garage in The Hague and they received a rubber container in the back in which detainees, drunk people and bicycles were transported. The garage also mounted a characteristic plastic roof above the driver and co-driver. If the car could still be used after its life with the police, it was sold and rebuilt to a normal convertible. The nickname was "Half Cut White"
here's another view of one but I think it was given the modified rear cover in civilian use

Posted this in the vert thread but would ask here as well. The more I think of it instead of a SK paint code like in a bus but possibly the Karmann body number? Jan 56?

This was on a 56 originally white vert

Some nice images in here https://www.life.com/history/volkswagen-photos-from-the-wolfsburg-factory-1951/ ...including a better view of this pic below, which were clearly taken within moments of one-another...

I didn't want to repost it - even with citation - for fear of copyright infringement.

from page 1...

That last one looks metallic, if Iris Blue it has dark blue/black wheels. The lighter color ones in front I have no idea

I wonder why Gunter and his Karmann factory gang didn't just fire each car up and quickly drive 'em up the ramp and into tie down position? I would have loved to have been there and driven 'em up there for the gang to tie 'em down...
