Is that a bottle of wine on the ladder?
Most likely sparkling water. Germans drink a lot of that. Being out at ambient temperature is normal, since they get a sore throat just seeing any beverage coming out of the refrigerator due to it being "unhealthily cold". When I worked for VW in Wolfsburg in the early 1980's and had lunch in the company cafeterias, I'd ask for ice cubes to cool down the room-temperature drinks. The attendant would look at me, say that they don't have ice cubes, and that such cold drinks are unhealthy for you. You'd go to a bar and have a non-alcoholic drink (when you are designated driver) and the bartender might put in a single cube. I'd ask for more, and the bartender would begrudgingly comply but look at you with a frown- "give the customer what he wants" even if that might almost clear out his current batch.? Mad

Awesome photo.

The wiper blades look weird to me - like they are too short?
It caught my eye because I thought it was weird they had not self-parked.

I think they are lifted off the glass and pointed out toward the camera making them look short.

Funny how Jr is using an ice scraper on his windshield.

The Notchback above appears to be a 64-65 model from the front beak so what color is it?

The photo coloring could be off but it looks Orange.
Clearly not Ruby Red since her jacket is very red.

Looks like it's a sunroof, too!

I tried color adjustments; this is as red as I can get the car. It makes her coat more magenta-ish, rather than pure red, so maybe this is close? But those leather coats start looking too red here, and I like the rest of the original photo tint much more than my adjusted version. So I am guessing repaint? Rare.

Its a repaint so God only knows what color it is. Look at the passenger door through the windshield - White or maybe seasand originally.
