Trabant 50 years

Trabant automobile is legendary. It did not became the legend because of exclusiveness. Contrary, it was a cheap mass production car which everyone claimed about, but the automobile industry of the former communistic eastern block simply was not able to produce anything better, which would remain in the series production, firstly becuase of the lack of various materials, secondly because of the low buying power of inhabitants. The first series came out on 7th November 1957 and only with small changes it remained in production until 1991, when this small car had no chance to compete against the flood of cars from the west after the fall of communism and opening of the frontiers. This vehicle owes its long life to the rigid political system, but also to plastic body, or to so simple construction, that anybody could maintain it at home conditions.

Eternal is also the engine sound, of course. To remember it, you can listen to it, only press the play button under the title of this article.
