Skoda convertible of the 1950s, manufactured in Czechoslavia, BMICH, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The signal levers can be seen recessed as a black vertical stripe in front of the rear hinged doors

The rear closed luggage space.

The 'pull-up' glass windows on the doors and the split wind-screen are items to be noted.

Skoda of Czechoslovakia was a well recognized automobile brand before the Second World war. They served the interests of Hitler's army. They made a recovery after the war and produced some good autos and were imported into Ceylon of the post-war years. I saw this at an exhibit at the BMICH, Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was advertised for use at weddings.
