No it isn't Wartburg - Skoda 450 or Felicia (450 was renamed to Felicia in 1959). -- Last edit: 2006-09-03 22:45:40 |

Alright, now I'm sure - 450. |

how was named cabriolet/convertible for this Skoda in East european countries? |

450 and Felicia were convertible/coupe (it was probably hard-top) versions of sedans 440/445 and Octavia. So sometimes in brochures were described as Felicia Roadster and Felicia Coupe, but for example in my country was known just as Felicia. -- Last edit: 2006-09-03 22:44:44 |

how can you see from this angle that it is 450 and not Felicia? |

Shape of grill: 450: http://www.quido.cz/udalosti/images/skoda450.jpg Felicia: http://www.abc.se/~m9805/eastcars/showcar.php?car=1178&lang=en But I must confess, that even now, for me it's 450 in 99% - maybe this new front has appeared later, f.e. with Felicia Super in 1961. -- Last edit: 2006-09-03 22:47:40 |

This wasn't made in the DDR was it? |

It was. The important difference is the bumper. The grills to 1961 were identical, but as I've just found, Felicia had two-piece bumper. Like for me this car has the older one (in one piece), so 450. EDIT: Just for the record earliest Felicias made in 1959, till summer of that year, still could have single piece bumper of 450. Link to "www.automobilrevue.cz" -- Last edit: 2020-03-20 19:09:17 |
