Evening Larrister:
On your latest photos, to start with the three vehicle one, I would say the following:
The top car I believe is an Opel, most likely an Olympia but could also be a Kadett. The middle car escapes me for the moment.
The bottom one is interesting and I spent about 30 minutes looking through all sorts of books and the best I can come up with is a Fiat Balilla of the middle 1930 period. It would help if you could remember the locale of the photo. If the photo was not taken in an area where Italian vehicles might have been seen, then that ID is probably not valid.
For the second photo, I will for the moment, defer to Hans Prisma. you are probably correct but I have grown very wary of trying to positively ID German vehicles where the photo is less than crystal clear. As you and I have posted, Germany commissioned quite a number of small series of specialist vehicles, especially Kubel vehicles, that were manufactured by several different companies. I am getting to that point, with so many of these really great photos appearing here, to be a bit careful in my choice of which photo represents which vehicle. I am happy with what I can positively ID and for the rest, I leave it to experts better than I.
Cheers
Bill
