Mercedes-Benz W120 Kombi

This Mercedes-Benz W120 Kombi (=estate/station wagon) found in Norway not only is a remarkably rare car, but also has a very interesting story to tell. But more about that later.

The normal W120 was built 171746 times between 1953 and 1961 and therefore was quite a common car in Europe at that time. Many examples survived, so it's still not too rare. In addition to these sedans though, Mercedes-Benz also built 5667 chassis frames including engine and transmission, which were meant to be converted to special versions of the W120 by other companies (to help your imagination, here is a picture).

BMW 502

This BMW 502 is standing on a scrapyard in Switzerland.
Although only 23000 examples were built between 1952 and 1964, the "Barockengel" was, just as the 507, important for BMW to find it's role in the car market after the war.
Nowadays, this model is so rare that even in the condition of the pictured example a restauration could be worth consideration, as good examples cost about 50000€.
After such a treatment, the now abandoned car could look like that one again:

Fiat 500

(Both pics by marvin 345)
The Fiat 500 was built more than 3 million times. Like every model produced in masses, some examples have not been cared for.
The car in the pictures is one of them. Without an engine or headlights it is sure to rot there forever or to be crushed.
Nevertheless, it is a small part of the big history of the Fiat 500.
As the successor to the famous Topolino, it was produced from 1957 till 1975 and was a big success. The example in the picture was produced before 1970.

The carreer of the 500 is not over yet. The current Fiat 500 has a retro design reminding of the old 500.
And in Japan, Duesen Bayern is building 500-"replicas" based on the Nissan Micra (called "Ritz"):

Chevrolet Biscayne

This beautiful 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne has been photographed on a scrapyard.
It was the smallest Chevrolet at that time, although it is 5,31m long.
In my opinion, it looks amazing with that mixture of rust and matte paint.

I wasn't able to find a picture of the Bicayne from the back in original shape, but this one is obviously restored and tuned:

VW Karmann Ghia

(Two pictures from the seller (the scrapyard))

This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (Type 14) has been photographed on a historical car scrapyard in Switzerland. The car has been produced between 1955 and 1974, the one in the picture is an early model built before 1959, as you can recognize from the small grille. Full of dirt and moss, this coveted classic sure is a heavy project for a restauration.
Nevertheless, someone actually bought it, when all cars on the scrapyard were sold. According to the seller, it is the 1958 model.
