[About the actual vehicle]
During the Cold War following World War II, the Trabant, commonly known as the "Trabi," was a car produced in East Germany that could be called a "people's car."
It was made in 1958 by a manufacturer called VEB Sachsenring in East Germany.
The Type 601 is a later model that was produced starting in 1961.
The body, which was said to be made of cardboard, was actually formed by heat-pressing laminated fibers made from waste cotton and phenolic resin.
The engine is an air-cooled, inline two-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 593cc.
It was a front-wheel-drive (FF) system with the engine mounted transversely at the front and driving the front wheels.
The body style lineup includes a two-door sedan and a two-door station wagon.
It was a popular vehicle in East Germany for a long time, as it was available to the general public.
