1956 Mercedes Benz 219(?)
If you believe Wikipedia, this car is a 220a or 220S, because "This can be identified by the one-piece windows in the rear doors, as opposed to the 220a and 220S having separate quarter windows." I don't know... it could easily be cobbled together from lots of cars. Chrome looks like all the pictures I've seen of the 220(a/S). That's the thing about the internet -- you can always check, but you can never be sure.
Heyyyy... where did we see that blue car in #2 before? I bet this one belongs to the same guy. I'll have to ask.

Post #100: 1957 Volkswagen Beetle
Owner said he had been looking for a car like it for 20 years.
Love the perfectly flat windshield, which tries to make up for it by having a continuously curved edge, drooping at the sides. The tiny wipers, the bulge around the headlights, the heavily blemished yet polished paint, the tiny turn indicators, the way the rear vents cup the small rear window (which matches the tiny rear view mirror), the peculiar mounting of the antenna, the artificial white rose next to the chrome radio grille. The roof and "A" pillars are a single stamped unit, and it extends all the way back to meet the engine cover, where the patina is revealed to be slightly different. The licence plate light could have come from a Fiat 500.
That Wolfsburg badge looks ceramic.
