Please help me identifying the cars on these pictures.
One of them is a prewar car, a bit fuzzy

The other one is post 1945 and features a Mercedes and a strange VW Beetle. It is not a Kohlruss Volkswagen.

Thanks

The VW is obviously a privately rebodied Kübelwagen, made to look like a Beetle. You can see some more Kübelwagen in the background.

Thanks for the assistance. Yes, the guy who ran this shop started his activities in 1945 by repairing old Kübelwagens. Interesting remark about the rebody - I think the family made a mistake here. They claim the attached was the Kübelwagen turned into VW Beetle. However this looks like a stock Beetle to me

CP 848 surely is a stock VW.
