love it John, interesting how much discussion there is on the futuristic aspect of its design, teardrop etc. The front end just blows me away, as being just so different to everything else around at the time.

Heres a video:

And Autocult made a 1/43

OMG! John, you must have been hoarding this one - what a phenom!

I like it, from the side. When I first looked at pic #1, I saw Jimmy Durante instead of the car. Once I got over that though, I was glued with interest in the text. Another terrific auto lesson - thank you sir!

An odd but intriguing automobile. It's the first time I've ever seen this one. 😊

You can tell it is Czech at first glance. Innovative but ugly at the same time. Too early to be successful.

While I find many things about the car interesting, I can't help thinking it looks like a cartoon character. Love the lesson John.
