As this thread is widely adequate for car-literature I'll show my random catch from yesterday here. Totally inconspicuous, but incredible interesting, when you had a look inside

It's a directory for the car-insurance, where all known as registrated car-, motorbike-, truck-, tractor- and bus-models in Germany are listed, from 1949 and 1951 (in the 1951-issued re special chapters for tracked vehicles and for vehicles, used by the Western Allied occupants )











I've found listings of

http://www.germanmotorcycles.cl/Wendax/wendaxcoments.html
http://www.norbertschnitzler.de/Fahrzeuge/IAA2001/Wendax.htm

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staunau
http://www.allcarindex.com/main-index/car-make-details/Germany-Staunau/

every page offers surprises (incl. several misspelled names). Unbelievable, how interesing such a simple, nondescript list can be!

at trucks

is listed. And a plenty of curiosities more.
