The next two images are both described as an Opel Wanderer, but I believe Opel and Wanderer were different companies, so I'm not sure what these actually are.

A dopey question, perhaps: What did they burn?

It could be pretty much any organic material, usually wood chips but coal also works. Superheating the material releases a gas which can be used as a fuel.
Your header picture shows a 1939 Chevrolet coach.
In the book it is identified as a limousine!
Just watching “I Was A Male Warbride” with Cary Grant from 1949. Opening scene he is riding in a taxi burning coal.
