A rather unique Czech car built from 1936 to 1950, with a break for WW2. The rear mounted 3 litre air-cooled V8 could push the car to nearly 160 kph. 3056 units were made.

They're nice; fast and comfy. I haven't been in a moving 77 or 87, but I have been in the more modern 603. The Luftwaffe banned their pilots from driving them because of their handling vagaries... D.
Amazing... I would have thought that a taste for decadent western jazz music and reckless joyriding of the laborious class' best technological production was a sure ticket to reeducation camp in 60's Czechoslovakia...
Unlike Skoda, there was no much love for the Tatra after communism. If you one of the nomenklatura and it turned up ouytside your apartment that was fine. For everyone else it was very bad.

The attempt at re-education came in 1968... D.
