Trabant models
No vehicle tells East German everyday life as directly as the Trabant: the 601 from Zwickau parks in front of every Kaufhalle, waits at every level crossing and rolls across the opened border in 1989. An overview of around 120 model cars of the Trabant brand.

With its Duroplast body and two-stroke engine the Trabant 601 became the most-built GDR car – on the layout it belongs in white, pastel blue or papyrus white in front of prefab blocks and village co-ops alike. Kübel and Universal add forestry, army and camping variants.
Busch and Brekina carry the 601 in countless colour and trim variants. Together with Wartburg, Barkas and IFA the East German streetscape becomes complete.
