Zophos1979 ◊ 2011-01-29 13:53	not very strong when it comes to my VW knowledge. can't find any post '55 models with these bumpers though, they all have more elaborate bumpers: http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Volkswagen/

Actually this type of bumper was used until the 1968 model year was introduced. I agree with 5503: 1958-1960, because of higher windscreen and no indicators (therefore still traficators in the B-pillar).

DynaMike ◊ 2011-01-31 15:05	The architecture looks rather Swiss or Austrian...
Ingo ◊ 2011-01-31 16:52	But the plates of these classic cars (here, too: /vehicle_369406-Alfa-Romeo.html ) are Brazilian. so probably filmed in a "German" or "Swiss" tourist-village there?
