Trabant for sale!


Hard to believe anyone would buy this! The famous east German car. You had to order it years in advance and then wait. This car was as plain and bureaucratic as the east german government. It would also kill you (like the east german government) because the fuel tank was in the front, between the engine and the driver! (Just like the piper cub I used to fly - the fuel tank was between the engine and the pilot).

You don't get it. To the US soldiers that where in Germany when the wall came down this little car is a reminder that our vigilance finally paid off.
