Looking through pictures from when my parents were in Europe in 1956. No real idea as to what year this Cab is or where other than Germany or Austria.
I can see and make out the low rear lights, but no clue otherwise as to year. Now I wish my parents had gotten a bit closer, or had had a better camera.
Enjoy.

Thank you, As stated had no idea. Even more so that a Polizei would use a Cab back then. I had seen Type 1 and Type 2 Polizei in later pictures, but never a Cabrio.
Thank again, you have added to my knowledge of my parents excursion in 56. _________________ Ossipon
