The car was not Opel-owned, as it would have "VR" for Rheinhessen then. The Opel-plant in Brandenburg was built in 1935, so decades later. And, even back then, company-owned test- and presentation-cars had mostly these red plates, the number starting with "0", as it's usual in Germany all the times until now. dsl is right, the number is quite high, especially for the sparsely populated and rather poor Brandenburg. Especially if you look for the fact, that the car itself is surely pre-1910 -in Germany license plates were issued since 1906- it makes the strong impression, that it's a faked pre-WWI-pic from the 20ies or 30ies. Haircut and hat of the lady on the left back seats doesn't look like from the Kaiser Wilhelm-times neither.
