The vehicle started as Phänomen Granit and was later renamed Phänomen Garant due to copyright infringement. Here is a list of the name changes: 1949 - 1953 -- Phänomen Werke -- Phänomen Granit 27 1953 - 1956 -- Phänomen Werke -- Phänomen Granit 30 K 1956 - 1957 -- VEB IFA-Lastwagen- u. Motorenwerke "Phänomen" Zittau -- Phänomen Garant 30 K 1957 - 1961 -- VEB ROBUR-Werke Zittau -- Robur Garant 30 K There was a facelift in 1955 to make it look like in the photo above. I will add '30 K' but keep 'Phänomen', if I may.
