Hallo Pavle
I think this is a Trabant. My father had one in the past.
The Trabant is a car that was produced by former East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau in Zwickau, Saxony. It was the most common vehicle in East Germany, and was also exported to countries both inside and outside the communist bloc. The main selling points were that it had room for four adults and luggage in a compact, light and durable shell; it was fast (when introduced); and it was durable.

Good morning Pavle,
One day this would be a jewel-antique, so the owner must preserve this old car and pput to display on a museum.
Two-stroke 765cc engine, sounds like something very minimal to function, but it did.
Nice spotted and shown.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Hi Paja,
Vrlo fine automobila. Samo sam pokazao da je to moj tata, a on je volio svoj stil, što ga je podsjetilo na autu je koristio posjedovati. To ne izgleda pomalo tužan što je nema jedno oko, ali njegov stil je bezvremenski!
Sve najbolje

Hi Pavle

Your Trabi as we call this car in Germna has made my day. It's a long time that I have seen one, not that this car is particular good, I would not recommend it for driving but as a collection item, anytime. Well done

Warm regards
Urs

Hi Pavle
This is a car of the East European suitably tired looking which adds to the feeling of a hostile environment but superb and nostalgic. Lovely toning, processing & comp on this excellent still life image of the olde. Well done.
Kind regards

Hello Pavle!
One of the hits of the automotive industry in Eastern Europe last century :) In Poland, called "soap dish". Good POV and composition showing, Trabant in its entirety.
Yours sincerely
Tadeusz

ourania (51103) 2013-06-17 6:32

Hello Paja,
I've heard about this car and of it being one of the symbols of an era. I like very much your composition, you found the perfect height and angle for your lens to capture the old car's character. It seems to fill the frame but there's still enough context in which it fits superbly. Sharpness is excellent all over the frame and you have handled the demands of the contrasting lightings in a very skillfull way rendering everything clear and interesting. The same goes for the workshop photos. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely week,
Ourania

Hello Pavle
The look is so typical of the cars the region used to produce...very well shown this car which was produced a lot in East Germany...one day may be a precious commodity indeed for collectors

Dobro vece.
Zanimljiva fotografija i prikaz jednog vremena u kome se vozio ovaj auto.
Lepa kompozicija i ostrina.
Samo mu fali desni far, verovatno ispao zbog rupi po putevima, sala na stranu ....
Sve najbolje ..
Rade...

Zdravo dear Paja

Our car lovers John Tyro and Craig Macjake will love this shot especially. You chose a good angle and low point of view to photograph your subject. I love the rust and the character, aswell as the colours. Excellent tight frame too.

Warmest wishes
Lisa

Hi Paja,
What a pity this car has decayed through disuse! I love pictures of old cars. I remember the Trabants. This collection of photos is excellent documentation for this car brand and a reminder of the Soviet dominated East Germany.

MT

Hellp Pavle, great model, tough and rough, good on gas..where in the world did you find it??

gipsy_quilt (64) 2013-07-26 5:19

Hello Pavle,

You can not imagine the pleasure that gives me this picture. It reminds me of the travels of my childhood in 'Yugoslavia' end of the ' 60.
Thank you for this!

Kind regards,
Pascale

Periko (9107) 2013-07-29 22:20

Hi Pavle,
Very slow car, but useful for not very long distances, I think. Being from 1989 it looks older.
Good sharpness and details

Hello Pavle,

You're capturing well this classic car by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see standard Trabant with strong body and classic style, although I am not knowledgeable about a car. It's good at this car taken from the rear.

Kind regards,
mikio
