Trabants Featured At Spy Museum
Head down to the International Spy Museum in the heart of the Penn Quarter during your lunch break today and you’ll find out that the Trabant is the East German equivalent of a Chevy Chevette. The Spy Museum will host a parade of Trabants from 10 am to 2 pm today to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. All the cars will then park in front of the museum on F Street so the public can get a look at a production car (1957 to 1991) with an engine normally found in a lawnmower (two stroke engine). Wendig! Schnell! (in English: Agile! Fast!)
Check out this ad for the Casco, the Hungarian equivalent of the Trabant.
