How Trabants were made

Trabant was a popular East German car, during the Cold War period. It was spread in all communist countries in Europe. Today cars are built by robots, and have aluminum/composite bodies. The Trabant was made out of pressed cardboard (not joking) and was literally hammered into submission. They just don't build them today like they used to

Enjoy!

Trabant new edition

"Trabant was a popular East German car" - You wanted to say: Trabant was one of the few cars available. Popular? I don't think so :think:

. Trabant and Wartburg were the most common brands in the former GDR. Both of them had a stunnig 2-stroke engine :cool:

. In fact a company is planning on producing a new Trabant with modern technology as a retro-car. The leader of the former GDR (Erich Honecker) prefered driving in a much more reliable car, he used a Volvo.
