601 Universal with not original elements. Black air vent on C-pillar is second half of 1989, if original. |

When and where had you been here? I saw the first Trabant in the West around 1979 or 1980. It belonged to an old couple (DDR-citizens older than 65 years were allowed to travel to West Germany. But the never go by car, due the lack of Western money for fuel). I remember, how shocked I had been  - a car, which I never saw before, whose name I didn't know! (I was 8 or 9 years back then)Later on I recognized it - where I grew up, we could watch the DDR-television  You wanna experience the athentic DDR-smell (no kidding, there was one!)? It's easy: let a moped or any other two-stroke-powered engine running, burn some brown lignite coal in your fireplace and cook some cabbage -- Last edit: 2014-09-07 17:59:28 |

The one I saw best was about that same time (Fall of '79??),driving on a sideroad in Rheinland-Pfalz. But they must've found some way to buy fuel,they were several hours away from the border? ('Black Market'cash exchange??? Knew some West Germans to 'bum' some gas money from? Maybe some Really,Really dumb spies that think we wouldn't all notice that car??(LOL)....)'We' were told then to watch for/report ANY vehicle with East German plates near a US Military base....and they were near several on that day!! (Actually,plates from "any" of the Warsaw Pact/Comecon countries. The most common ones I can recall seeing were Czech,but you'd see Polish or sometimes Hungarian ones too,and those all were usually on a Priority Road or Autobahn,and NEVER on a Trabbi?) -- Last edit: 2014-09-13 19:57:12 |
