Coachbuilt by Beutker in Thun, Switzerland, '54-'59 or so. One source says 39 built on VW platforms.

Saschsenring P240 Kombi, '55-'57, one source says 1900 were built, but hard to pin down because they were made in a nationalized Audi factory in East Germany.

Nice looking car, really like the swinging rear door.

This stylish thing was a 1925 Bentley 3-liter (litre) Shooting Brake. Same owner from 1963.
