    You are right, I have actually seen one not too long ago.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    The rear is too short IMO for it to be a Tatra. It could be some sort of Morris, but I really don't know those models apart.

    After a little research, Morris Minor is my guess.

    beats me, the car behind looks like a split window beetle, so it must be at an exhibition in the early fifties. How can you be sure that it has a two stroke? It hardly reminds me of the DKW, which was far less square.

    The car benhind is definately NOT a split screen beetle, the windows don't meet square.

    I'm not sure about the car in front. It reminded me of American, but I can't place any of them Is it maybe a Cadillac - I seem to remember there elary grilles were those horizontal large bars ????

    Cadillac with a 2 stroke 750cc engine ??
    and it looks far to cheap .even for a 50s car to be a Cadillac
    it must be a shitty car . with around 100 being built ..

    comparing with the DKW . that one is a lot rounder . but could it be a "cousin" . IFA, Wartburg. etc .
    btw . on the side of the car i think is written the name of the marque .
