'72 Trabant in NY State
The quintessential symbol of the German communist state...can't say I have ever seen one in the flesh but here it in in the US.
"According to automotive journalist Doug DeMuro, the Trabant was loud, slow, poorly designed, badly built." Link to 1972 Trabant auction

Saw a car like this when I was in Russia in 1992. One word, Horrible....
I think it was a Zaporozhets. Was even a 2 cycle I believe. I'm thinking L88 427 with tunnel ram, 4 speed, and wheelie bars. Paul

I was stationed in W. Berlin back in 84 to 86 and saw lots of these. They stink like crap, the exhaust from those 2 strokes was terrible. Stopped along an Autobahn rest stop in E. Germany once, and saw a dude had his carb out and rebuilding it there on the picnic table! Passengers did not fare well in vehicle crashes, the body was made from bako-lite or something. Nader would have crapped his pants if he had to deal with these.
