Volkswagen Käfer 1952 mit Autotelefon. At the German Industries Fair (10. Deutsche Industrieausstellung). Messe Berlin 1952.

The interior of a 1952 Volkswagen Käfer on display at the 10th German Industries Fair in Berlin. The focus is on the dashboard, which features a rare 'Autotelefon'—a telephone handset mounted beside the large, two-spoke steering wheel. Through the windshield, the blurred figures of onlookers observe the vehicle, their presence highlighting the novelty of the technology. A shallow depth of field keeps the car’s intricate details in sharp focus, drawing attention to its unique design.
