Looks like the Kombi model? |

Thanks for your honourable assumption, that I'm fit with aircooled VWs, but I just can say, that it's a 1964+ Kombi in perhaps original Bundeswehr-trim*. I'm only unsure about the paint, NATO-olive in glossy. This was common only for some Commander's cars. *P.S. Does it have the holder for the convoi-flag? And the leashes around the windows for the covers? -- Last edit: 2015-11-20 22:00:03 |

Visible in thumb, yes. Strange, once it has been pointed out... |

Not just the holder, also the flag. ![]() |

A flag, yes, but in a convoi the first car would use a blue flag and the last one a green flag. |

That's not really correct ![]() |

We did it that way, German rules are different then |
◊ 2015-11-21 16:01 |
No, it's a NATO-rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_Agreement , STANAG 2154 to be precise), not a country-specific law. |

Fwiw, see at 14 d 2 (b) page 14, travelling in the Netherlands requires a blue flag on each vehicle. Also in Germany? Your link shows me just a listing. |

I've found only the German Wiki-text about convois: Link to "de.wikipedia.org" Ah, it's said, that in Norway and Italy specific signs at the front and the end of a convoi are mandatory, instead of the flags (except those for the first and the last vehicle) |

You also find the German requirement for flags on each vehicle here: "In Deutschland besteht diese zusätzliche Auflage für NATO-Kolonnen daraus, dass nicht nur das erste Fahrzeug die blaue Flagge führt, sondern alle Kolonnenteilnehmer außer dem letzten (bereits grün beflaggten) die blaue Flagge zu zeigen haben." |
