Picture Saturday: The Classic East German Car

A  month or two ago I was walking to the bus stop in the Village (where my school is located) and saw this curious looking car:

What is it?  A convertible Trabant! 

The regular version of these cars were everywhere in Hungary during communism and just after the fall of the Iron Curtain.  My dad's uncle had one that we would ride around in when I visited Hungary in 1993.  He would take it up to the top of a hill and then just coast down in neutral. Today he just has the tires left.  Here is a picture of a regular Trabant:  (It was originally posted when I wrote about my trip to Germany.)
