The 5th from the top is a Polish FSO Warszawa (check Wikipedia for details!), but this vehicle is operated by the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) in the 1950's. I am not sure who and when made the modification, but my guess is made by MÁV. The car is on the picture is on display at the Hungarian Railway Museum (http://www.mavnosztalgia.hu/en/menu/103) and still in operational condition. You can find a much better picture of it here:

Also a Russian GAZ M13 (Chaika) is displayed at the same place. The story is the same as with the Warszava. Check it out:
