Messages on the car spell out (approximately): "Trip to Paris", "See you later on the Boulevard", "[obscured by flowers] the fight" (The obscured part most likely reads "Auf in [den Kampf]" which means "Into battle"), "my sword tip is itching".
 
1914, presumedly after the German declaration of war with France so sometime in August at the least.
