Yes

Built in the late 1940s?

Wendax · August 23, 2015, 03:17:55 AM

The pictures are a bit younger, so I guess the car is too.

Looks very quiet on AP today. Maybe I've got time to get there by using questions.

It's a small car. VW engine?

Wendax · August 23, 2015, 09:10:02 AM

Yes, VW-engined

pnegyesi · August 23, 2015, 09:24:13 AM

East German?

Wendax · August 23, 2015, 09:48:41 AM

Geographically yes, politically no

nicanary · August 23, 2015, 09:51:44 AM

Franz Bumke ?

Wendax · August 23, 2015, 10:09:00 AM

Well done! It is Franz Bumke's VW Spezial:

It was purely a guess, based on your clue that the photo was taken in the '50s. The number of VW specials was a lot less by that date, since Porsches were available by then and a lot more competitive.

A lucky point.
