1947-52 TATRA T600 Tatraplan Limuszina Szedán

The Tatra factories had survived the war quite undamaged and already in 1945 production could be restarted. Besides the traditional 57B also the streamlined T87 was offered till 1950.
As a replacement for the smaller streamlined Pre-War T97 a new model was developed: the T600 Tatraplan.
The design of this car was based on the T87 body. It shared the nose of the last T87 version, but the central rear wing was not replaced. The front wings with incorporated headlights were smoothly integrated in the body. In stead of the three-piece T87 window the T600 had a two-piece split windscreen.

The T600 was developed in 1945-46 by Josef Chalupa, Vladimír Popelář and František Kardaus (1908-86), based on the ideas of Hans Ledwinka (1878-1967) who was imprisoned by the Sovjets since 1945.
The Tatra company was nationalized in 1948. In 1951 the state planning department decided the replace the T600 production to the Škoda plants. Both Czech car producers were not happy with this decision.
In 1952 production was ended. The T600 was quite popular in Europe and 2164 items (one third) was send abroad. This pictured T600 is one of the 146 which went to Hungary.
In total 6342 T600 were built, from which 4242 in Kopřivnice (Tatra plant) and 2100 in Mladá Boleslav (at Škoda).

Production T600 Tatraplan: 1947-1952 (although some sources claim till 1954 or even till 1956).
