1940 ŠKODA Rapid 1500 Sedan - a photo on Flickriver

1940 ŠKODA Rapid 1500 Sedan

            Note the enormous resemblance with the previous Hanomag 1.3 Liter. The grille, the body shape with the integrated headlamps, they all have a lot in common with the 1938 Hanomag. The designers must have been aware of each others plans.

In the late thirties many car builders and designers adopted the new theories about car aerodynamics and applied them in the latest car models. These avant-garde plans were not always applied to production models, unfortunately sometimes only single prototypes.
This Rapid was built in modest production numbers: 2402 times.

1564 cc.
Max. speed: 110 km/h.
Production Rapid this version: 1938-1941.
Old Czech reg. number.
Private import.

Scan from original analog photo, Filmroll. number 96-3.
Original photo was taken on a classic car show.
I don't know what happened with this rare Rapid after the show. If I'm not mistaken this Rapid was shown by the Dutch Škodaclub Nederland.

Utrecht, Vehikel, Veemarkthallen, Febr. 17, 1996 / Amsterdam, Oct. 21, 2018.
