Looks like this chap on the right? What do you think? Helmut Ukena, worked for Karmann in sales. These pictures are from Karmann Post - 15 & 23.
Could well be wrong Confused

I think it's the same person, you're right Russ Applause
I did some research on the web and I didn't find any information about this person (Helmut Ukena).




I think the picture below, was also taken from the day of July 14, 1955. I am right ?

Whilst on the way to Hessisch Oldendorf last weekend we stopped in Georgsmarienhutte for a quick photo opportunity at the Kasino.
Managed to park round the back which was pretty cool Cool

Thanks Very Happy I'm glad I made the effort to get there.

I wonder how many random Ghia's they get stopping there throughout the year?

I guessing, it seems Christina was the only woman at the event. Is that the reason only she is seen in the photos sitting in the car. Or is it that she wears european style really well?.... both metal and fabric

In many ways these photos are a time capsule to the zeitgeist back then.

Certainly seems to be the only woman in the pictures seen so far, I guess being the boss's wife gives you certain privileges Laughing

Waiting for some colour shots of this occasion! There must be some somewhere..

Thank you Russ for this new pics.
We find again the car with license plate BN59-0336
License plate gazelle beige car BN59-0336 / BN59-0324 / BN59-0354
I haven't yet found with certainty, the number licence plate of the fourth gazelle beige car, but it may be BN59-358

I wrote several months ago to the Gute Fahrt magazine to know if in their archive it would have preserved photos of 1955 in color. He never answered me
