1958 Packard
This Packard wagon was one of 159 that were produced. 1958 marked the final year for Packard and they were really more Studebaker than they were Packard. It is difficult to understand how the company could roll into the sunset with a car like this being badged as a Packard.

KdF-Wagen (Beetle sedan)
The Volkswagenwerk factory was destroyed following a series of Allied air raids. That abruptly stopped the production of missile and artillery systems that were being built there. Shortly after the war British engineers found a completely intact KdF-Wagen as well as the machines, tooling and parts used in its production stored in the basement of the facility.
An effort to speed up production resulted in a pickup and gooseneck trailer be assembled from the parts found in the basement. It was used to transport the freshly assembled KdF-Wagens to the inventory lot. In 1947 as production was increased the transporter was disassembled and used for parts.
