The pictures are a bit younger, so I guess the car is too.

Looks very quiet on AP today. Maybe I've got time to get there by using questions.

It's a small car. VW engine?

It was purely a guess, based on your clue that the photo was taken in the '50s. The number of VW specials was a lot less by that date, since Porsches were available by then and a lot more competitive.

A lucky point.
