A car with a teardrop caravan draws onlookers, 1937

A light-coloured saloon car stands under trees towing a streamlined, teardrop-shaped caravan with curtained windows; a man and a woman look out from behind it, and then a crowd of men, women and boys gathers round the caravan to inspect it. Car ownership was still rare, and a caravan behind a private car was an object of curiosity; the regime promised a car for everyone, the Volkswagen, which ordinary Germans paid for in advance and never received.
