Steve (58L8134), thanks for the detailed amendment, especially the remark related to the recovered exhaust heat was interesting.

The wedding party's '36 Eight sedan could be the basic 1400 or the 5/7 passenger 1401/ 1402, models popular with livery operations. The bald winter tire side-mount suggest the scarcity of the immediate postwar years.
Moving to 1949 finds the livery company in improved condition. From right to left are a By the nice shiny paint and clean appearance, plus appropriately attired chauffeurs, this was a successful livery company that had prospered. The single additional driving lights are very European. Steve Edit: Thanks Mal, I can never recall that detail difference between the '38 and '39 120.

Hi Guscha
Interesting '39 Super 8 1705, in the closer look below one can see the model-specific headlight lens, headlight bucket spear and hood side vents. Oddly enough, it doesn't have the alternately painted radiator shutter bars characteristic of the model. Guesses are it was either a Body No. 1270 limousine or 1271 seven passenger sedan. The absence of side-mounts is curious as well. Two '49-'50 Fords are following. Steve

Steve (58L8134), I missed the alternately painted radiator shutter bars as well.
For decades the Packard plant lies in ashes but their products are part of the national memory in Finland until today. source: www.suomenrahaliike.fi

BDC, well spotted! It is up for sale at souvenir shops. A less sophisticated car that was made in my home country has got the same privilege.

That looks like a skoda. If you take a skoda today and you scratch off the emblem you see that is says "VW".
Correct that, I think it's a Trabant! 30 years since the fall of the wall!
