Although the picture features two West German cars, in the shape of a Mercedes-Benz and a V.W. Beetle, it was taken somewhere in East Germany (G.D.R.) as the Minol brand of fuel was the Nationalised supplier of fuel to forecourts there. The full name was" V.E.B. Kombinol Minol".

The head of the body construction department, Josef Velebný, photographed here at his desk in the early 50s with scale models of Škoda 1101/1102 ’Tudor’ and its successor the next Škoda 1200 ’Sedan’.
