Trabant 601 S DeluxThe East German Trabant 601 provides a stark example of how socialism failed to provide the promised worker's paradise. It was powered by a two-cylinder, two stroke engine with 28 hp. The Trabant's body was made of pressed plastic and cotton panels attached to a galvanized steel chassis. |
 The citizens of East Berlin often had to wait eight years or more to get one of these small cars. |
