For 1 point - what is said to be being built here, where is it supposed to be and when?

VW Karmann Ghia estate proposal ,early '60s ?

You've hit the nail on the head, although it's earlier than 1960s.
However, what's the full story?
Was there ever such a car?
Where does the factory pictured purport to be?
Locked for you to do some more digging!

Here's another picture of this 'model':

Both pics are photoshopped afaik , the puzzle pic was done by a German guy who was one of a group who had too?! much time on their hands who were photoshopping/customizing various original KG photos ,brochures ,etc
This one "is" a pre '59 lowlight wagon on the assembly line at Osnabruck.
Never seen a real one built/completed yet ,very difficult to get right imho....

That's about the long and the short of it, yes!
