Chief of Police during the German occupation of Norway Karl A Marthinsen was killed in his car a Graham shark nose in February 1945. Over 30 Norwegians were killed in revenge afterwards by the Germans. The car was fixed and was in use after the war and according to rumors, it is buried in the Våga area in Norway.

Amazing mix. I think an NSU next to the Bristol, also a Wolseley 6/80, Javelin, Pre-War Morris 8, bubblecar etc etc.

There also seems to be a Jowett Javelin in the mix, the 105e on wide steels looks nice too.

No first use of a speed camera. They got the bus as he was running late.

Wonder what that is on the windscreen of the 105 too. I thought it was a refection at first but no other car  parked nearby has that.

It almost looks as though the nearside third of the screen is missing, you can see the driver's seat pretty clearly.

Possibly some sort of anti mist panel?

Interesting car that Anglia. It's quite at new car a the time - and looks to have possible had some serious tuning modifications. Maybe some link to Ford at Southampton?

There were some weird accessories sold back then (some by YT) but I can't see that - the wipers would shift it? It does look odd though.

The cars look parked. Despite the no parking sign.

A mining truck has drove off the road in the far north of Norway in 1938.

Google suggests it's a 1937 Oldsmobile forward control or COE(Cab-Over-Engine).

I do not know why but I never checked what kind of truck this was. This was stupid of me as this must be very rare COE trucks were rare enough here in the 30's but Oldsmobile truck and COE make it very rare. So thank you for checking.

The first two cars are a Mercedes-Benz and a Brogward, but I can't quite make out the third & forth ones. Any ideas?

Third, not sure but possibly a UK Ford Consul MK1 or an Opel Rekord P1;  Fourth car (on right) looks like a VW Beetle to me, and is that the nose of a DS in (across) the background?
