East German Trabi Traban – in NEON PINK!
Here is another East-German lovely. Funny enough, it looks to be not far off in design from our previously posted Wartburg. Maybe they were all like-minded over there. Oh wait, they were forced to be like-minded during communism – so it would be no surprise if that transcended into every dimension of life, including design. Maybe it was because tastes were the same? Either way, this thingy might have been able to pick up the ladies in its day – but in neon pink?! This dude must have been ultra-desperate. I hope it worked for him – cause I’m sure his ‘bros’ definitely must have alienated him after he got that paint job.

There’s a T at the end… ‘Trabant’, not ‘Traban’.
They did look like Wartburgs… same company (IFA) also built trucks, Simpson motorcycles, Barkas vans etc. You love ‘em or you hate ‘em, but please, get the spelling right
they’re sweet
